[K12OSN] Kernel panic

[Edward Holcroft]

Hi List

I get an error "kernel panic - not syncing" when trying to instal  
K12LTSP.

Upon googling I came across this strange solution:

type "linux garbage" and hit enter

or

type "garbage" at the install prompt, hit enter twice and voila. Go  
figure. But it worked (mostly using this second option). Until now,  
that is.

Someone says it's to a common problem with Intel and certain other  
specific motherboards, but I've never had this issue before, with all  
the dozens of Intel MB's I've used in the past. Furthermore, I now  
have two machines, with Intel MB's that will not buy the solution  
mentioned above - they just keep giving a kernel panic. Perhaps I  
should add that some machines installed fine under K12LTSP 4.2.1 but  
needed the workaround under 4.4.0 These new motherboards that I got  
today don't even want to install the old versions of K12LTSP right  
back to 4.1.

Any ideas?
