| |
hi,
trying to solve a problem here:
Siemens Mainboard S26361-D with Intel Chipset (having some extra features for beeing used rackmounted / in cabinets), currently running with Intel P-III 933MHz and 512 MB Ram.
As soon as i try to upgrade Ram to something more than 512 MB the kernel crashs while booting, right after unpacking its image or a little bit later after detecting ide-devices.
Now i tried to install 768 MB in 3 x 256 MB 133MHz ... (same results with 3 x 512 or 2x256 + 1x128 - simply anything above 512)
Kernel 2.4.6-ac2:
- kernel unpacks and detects 770xxx KB Ram (768 MB) - it shows 4 rows of hash table informations and hangs, the last line is about "Page-cache hash table", then deadlock.
Kernel 2.4.2:
- kernel boots up until it detects the ide-devices, showing ide0 with its information, ide1 with its information, then it stands still, deadlock, before it can show the partition informations
Another try with 2.4.2 does a kernel Oops 0002 at the same point.
Siemens does not to provide any information on the mainboard, i didn't find any newer bios version i could try, nor did i find any more information about crashing kernels with installed 512+ MB with these kind of problems i've got here.
Someone has an idea, what i could try to do or try to debug, to get more information on this? I'm willing to really work hard on it :)
Thank you very much for reading.
Andreas
