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.

We have created a new test kernel that has an upstream patch to fix this issue, please test this and see if it fixes your issues:

Yes,

the problem machine (Compaq ProLiant 3000) boots fine with this test kernel.

Thank you very much!
