Hi! I try to install Rocky 9.3 to my old laptop Samsung R700-AS01RU (Cure 2 duo T8100, Geforce 8600m GT, 3 GB ram) See error kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init exit code=0x00007f00. ![photo_2024-05-02_13-59-49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/b/b0fe9d94b71cd253b18e367fd8c1f43cd0de1ce3.jpeg) ---

That CPU is not supported, since it is older than x86\_64-v2 what Rocky 9 requires as absolute minimum. Install Rocky 8 instead. ---
