Welp - I tried all sorts of stuff. Still a no-go. Here's how I'm doing this:
Primary SATA drive is XP Secondary SATA is for CentOS or FC4 (whichever I can get to work)
On complete install of either (it installs just dandy) and reboot into the virgin install, I get the kernel panic (poop loads of code) and the caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard are both flashing at the same time.
Does the system have a Hyperthreading CPU? Have you tried both single processor (labelled UP or -up in the Grub boot screen) and multiprocessor (SMP) kernels?
I would've thought the fact it runs the installer implied the system is capable of booting a linux kernel. So it's possibly something different between the minimal kernel/initrd the installer uses and the full blown kernel/initd booted after the install.
Will.
