[Solved] kernel panic

I've installed arch a couple times now and every time I do so, the installation is successful. Then when I reboot, I get what I assume is a kernal dump.

It goes something like...

[   1.159432] [<fffffffffffffffff81460130>] ? gs_change+0x13/0x13
(many lines of this, what I can see is mostly about pic_scan, driver_probe, and acpi_bus)


I've installed arch a couple times before this, and I've never encountered anything like this before...

I tried installing just the core distro without the net-install, and that worked fine. After pacman -Syu , this started happening again...

The only possible error I see in the install process is something about locales (I have no clue if this is related)

thanks in advance!

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

What exactly is your locale error?

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

You have failed to setup up locale while configuring the system at OS install.

edit:
You can chroot and setup the locale. Run mkinitcpio -p linux after that.

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

thanks for the help!

Unfortunatly I'm not sure I understand... I started the installation and I got through installing the packages. I then switched to a different terminal, but I'm not sure how to use chroot in this context...

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

If you have already started the installation, after you install the packages there is an option to configure the system. Just follow the locale.gen wiki .

Sometimes we tend to forget to configure the locale.gen while installation.

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

sigh... I wish that was the problem. The kernel still crashes on me after I install everything.

Re: [Solved] kernel panic

same error. I reboot the computer and all it shows me is a kernel dump.
I just used the core install and that worked fine. I updated the system and ran mkinitcpio -p linux just to be sure. Everything looked fine, no errors. I rebooted and the kernel won't load...
