PANIC after upgrading from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11

[eigilsa]

I upgraded a AMD64 box to 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp using yum.
After reboot the box hangs with the following messages:

kernel direct mapping tables upto ffff8101000000000 @ 800-d000
PANIC: early exception rip ffffffff8050b68d erro 0 cr2 0

Decompressing Linux...done.
Booting the kernel.




Any solutions to this problem?

Can't help on that one but I have had some problems myself with this kernel as well. I had to uninstall it and reinstall because of some error in downloading the kernel I guess. but I used yum the second time because up2date probably messed it up.

AMD64 rules... even at 3400+...

possibly bad sectors on the disk? try running a surface scan.
