Have you tried searching from the knoppmyth forums ?
I have not seen kernel panics, but There seems to be bad cd-images around
for
the r5a30.2 knoppmyth. 2 of my friends got that and had odd bus error's and
X did
not start.
I downloaded my cd from torrent and it seem to work. I have 2 sata drives
and everything
works fine. I have installed just like the manual guide says in knoppmyth
site.
