Installing and Running RHEL9 on QNAP TS-i410X
If you experience kernel panic when launching RHEL9 installer or booting RHEL9 kernel, you need to blacklist pinctrl_elkhartlake kernel module.
The problem has been described in RedHat KB article:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6628471
Solution
Use kernel bootable parameter during install and after install.
module_blacklist=pinctrl_elkhartlake
Newer distributions don't seem to exhibit this problem. I've tested the following and did not encounter any problems.
- Debian 12
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Fedora 39
