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.

it only happens on older PII and PIII machines.
And then only some of them - home home PC with PIII runs fine with the new kernel. I will upgrade 2 more machines with PII or PIII and see what will happen.
OK, just for the record, I have upgraded 3 more machines to CentOS5.2 - a P4 Compaq D51S - new kernel runs OK - a PII Compaq Deskpro EN - new kernel runs OK - another 2*PIII Compaq ProLiant 3000 server - kernel crashes (somewhat expected, as the machine is almost identical to that I initially reported)
