Hi,
I’m trying to install Clear Linux 40690 on a Lenovo Yoga 510-AST with 16GB RAM and an AMD A6-9210 processor. The specifications of the processor is available via the following link:
However, when I try to boot the live environment I encounter a kernel panic. Has anyone managed to install Clear Linux on a system with this processor?
Did you try to run from the desktop iso? Where does it fail? During boot after you have installed?
I know that I have an ASUS desktop with an AMD processor, and it works, but the processor is much newer than yours.
If you are able to get the Lenovo to run with Desktop iso try running dmesg (as root) and see if there
are any glaring issues.
This is information of the CPU on my system:

I tried to run the desktop ISO. However, it fails during the booting process to the live session. The error output is shown below:
I remember being able to install and run a much earlier version of Clear Linux on this machine. It could be possible that the kernel configuration was changed for later builds.

I see a general protection fault at 3.206235 where the init process started to run which caused the kernel panic.
