Installer Kernel Panic on Toshiba Lifebook N3530

[Phydeaux314]

I'm using the JaS 10.4.8 installer image with the 8.8.1 kernel. Upon loading the DVD and starting up in verbose mode, I get the following message:

 

 hi mem tramps at 0xffee00000
PAE enabled
enabling INTEL features
standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us
vmp_page_bootstrap: 383872 free pages
mig_table_max_displ = 71
Enabling XMM register save/restore and SSE/SSE2 opcodes
ACPI CA 20051117 [debug level=0 layer=0]
panic(cpu0 caller 0x001a2051): Machine-check (CPU:0, thread: 0x2d86900, code:0x12), registers:

(It then lists the registers and some other diagnostic text.)

 

I've tried various combinations of cpu=x, platform=acpi/x86pc, -x, -v, -f, -s, -legacy, etc. Nothing has gotten me past this part. I know the DVD image is valid, because the installer loads just fine on my Core 2 Duo desktop. A forum search for various parts of the error turns up an older thread with a few people getting the same error, but no solution was posted.

 

A few notes about the laptop:

- It supports SSE3. (linux reports sse, sse2, and pni)

- It has an ATI x1400 video chip.

- It has 1 512MB stick of RAM and 1 1024MB stick of RAM.

 

Other than that, don't see anything that unusual about it. If needed, I can pull up the hardware spec list at Fujitsu.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anybody offer any insight?

Bump again... can anyone help?

Yeah, I've got the same laptop and I get a kernel panic in the same place. I'm using the 10.5 flat image installer on an external USB drive... it comes up fine on my Thinkpad T60.
