After yum upgrade, the new CentOS5 kernel [ kernel-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.i686 ] crashes each time early in boot process on Compaq ProLiant 3000 with dual Pentium3 CPU (600 MHz, CPU0: Intel Pentium III (Katmai) stepping 03, CPU1 the same).
I get kernel panic at powernowk8_init+0x05e/0x1c3.
The previous kernel [ kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.i686 ] seems to work fine.
I am wondering if anyone has met this on PIII CPU ?
I have found 99.9% identical problem on http://www.nabble.com/net-5501-and-RHEL5.2-td18024549.html

You are definitalty not alone on this. See http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2912. Maybe add a note there that you have the same issue and report your system config. It looks likes it only happens on older PII and PIII machines.
