On a brand new (just unboxed) Dell Precision 7500 computer, I began a kickstart using a red hat boot disk and a kickstart file hosted at an http address.

There is a picture of the full error below with trace information

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

I believe this is different than the other questions relating to kernel panic errors.

What I would like to know is

  • What causes the kernel panic

  • How does one fix this such that the kickstart finishes

Additional information can be provided as necessary.
