CentOS 4.3 Notes

• Travis Conway originally reported this as not working with a kernel panic

  <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel/sched.c:460: spin_lock(kernel/sched.c:c0ea120) already locked by kernel/sched.c/2689
• Colin Barnhorst reports that:
  Use boot options: "linux noacpi" plus graphics options such as "1024x768 depth=16"
  (Example: linux noacpi 1024x768 depth=16)
• To change the resolution without boot options, Dean McDonald says:
  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2, login as root
  2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in text editor
  3. In Section “Screen” Change DefaultDepth = 24 and Depth = 24 to DefaultDepth = 16 and Depth = 16 in all locations
  4. Save /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
  5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X Windows
