Kernel Panic - Not Syncing

Post by pileaut » 2023/01/26 02:05:42

Good Evening,

I am trying to install Centos 7 2009 on an x570s MSI motherboard with an AMD5800X chip. When booting into the installer (utilizing a USB ISO I created on another windows machine) I get a kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception error. I have tried to edit the install CentOS 7 command with amd_iommu=pt and tried install in basic graphics mode, with the same error happening no matter what I did. Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Very Respectfully,

Matt C

Since CentOS 7 has less than 18 months of life left, I'd try a different, more recent distro. You're going to have to upgrade to it within the next 18 months anyway so you might as well start now.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I'll give CentOS 8 a try then. Thanks!

There are no newer production ready CentOS builds than 7. For anything newer you need to use one of the newer RHEL rebuilds like Rocky/Alma or OEL.

Probably should have read your signature, sorry about that. I have never used Linux before, so apologies for my lacking understanding now. Thanks for your help!
