| |
Hello list. My friend and I are trying to put together an old P133 box as a small server, but we can't even boot the kernel. We tried booting from RedHat's CDs versions from 6.0 to 7.2 as well as with a vanilla 2.4.17 kernel compiled for Pentium with gcc-2.96-98. The problem is 100% repeatable and looks as follows: (normal boot messages) Calibrating delay loop... and here we get different oopses, i.e. Unable to handle paging request or General Protection Fault and a few others. Often the oops mesage was incomplete, as if the kernel hanged while writing it. It is totally random at this point.
So, if anyone has _any_ idea where to look for the cause of this problem, we'd really appreciate it. Could this be a hardware problem?
