I get the same message during installation. But this kernel solves problems with our new hardware (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo notebook with SATA ICH7 Intel Dualcore), that with the 2.6.9.-42.0.3 kernel requires "acpi=off irqpoll" (and is still unstable with these options).
Thanks for providing it!

errr.. dont use it on a production machine, it might be a long time before it shows up in the released tree...
Also, you got an Athlon powernow-k8 message on the CoreDuo laptop ?? Can you please provide the output from /proc/cpuinfo and dmesg please ( attach it at a bug report at http://bugs.centos.org/ and let us know the bug no please )

I don't think that cpuinfo and dmesg will help. I think this is error output from depmod. It means that powernow-k8 has been built, but there is no cpu_online_map defined in any other module. A makefile problem, perhaps. Probably harmless (will anything attempt to load powernow-k8 on that hardware?).

why not ? it _is_ x8664 hardware .. Which is why i asked for the dmesg and cpuinfo.

Sure, but the reported issue has nothing to do with *running* the software on the hardware. It's error output from the %post script as the kernel RPM is installed. IIUC, it indicates that there is an internal inconsistency in the content of that kernel RPM (as I indicated in my earlier message) - but one which will have no functional consequences.

The 2.6.9-42.28.EL.c4test kernel is the only way to use Centos 4.4 on this hardware. SuSe 10.x with x > 0 also appears to work.

Karanbir,
the powernow-k8 module is irrelevant for this hardware (Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz) .
However, I now tried the 2.6.9-42.28.EL.c4test kernel on a Mac Pro (which works very well with 2.6.18, except for a non-functional optical drive). It hangs during booting at "Probing PCI bus", after identifying the CPUs; with or without acpi=off. Of course the 2.6.9-42.0.3 also does not work with this hardware, but I was encouraged by the success with the notebook.
I also tried on a Dell Precision 670. Here the kernel hangs after "Uncompressing Linux" before starting "Redhat nash". This is unexpected because all CentOS kernels so far worked on this hardware.
On the latter two platforms I get during installation Failed to mmap /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.28.EL.c4test-smp-i686/./drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/Makefile

embarrassing to reply to one's own posting ... the lack of success on the Mac Pro and the Dell Precision was "pilot error" - I installed the i386 kernel on x86_64 machines !
After fixing this, I find that the new kernel works well on the Dell. I didn't have time to test the Mac Pro, but the boot messages looked ok on a quick check.
So - no reason for bug reports.

depending on the tree installed, the i386 kernel should work fine, as long as the underlying distro is mostly i386 as well. Also, using yum with a sane baseurl= line will prevent such issues :)

cool :)
