Hi, I tried to install CentOS 4.1(x86_64) on my virtual machine. I am getting kernel panic error. Installation program crashed. I also tried CentOS 4.0 and CentOS 4.2, got same error. There is no problem with installing CentOS 4.1(32 bits).

4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 were released a few months apart in 2005, built with kernel 2.6.9. why are you installing 8 year old software on a new system ?

if you absolutely have to run a EL4 derivative, at least run 4.9, which was released in 2011, but be aware there have been no security fixes for it since a year ago.
