-   Hey all,

I am ofcourse a noob to Linux and if this is a common problem/norm with this kernel then I am sorry. But when I tried to install Mandrake 9.0 from cd with my full 1024 mb ddr the system would get to the loading of the cd but no install screen. I took out 512 mb and the install went find. Now I need to do video work in windows and installed the other 512 to bring me back up to 1024 mb. Now when as soon as I choose Linux to boot with LILO I get a kernel panic. Any ideas?

-   Remove the memory so you only have 512Meg, boot into Linux, and install the 'kernel-enterprise'
kernel (should be on the CD). Shutdown, but the 512Meg back in, reboot and select the
enterprise kernel. If all goes well, you can use 'K/Configuration/Mandrake Control Center/Boot' to
change it to boot the enterprise kernel by default.

The standard kernel only sees under 1Gig of memory (normally it will just boot and not see above,
but sometimes there can be problems)
