try the 12-21 livecd, odd that you hadn't especially since you report this on the 28th. Also, that particular motherboard is _known to work_ with that livecd, as we have a few people using it, as well as it's close cousin the K8NPro. If you can't get it to work, you've got bad hardware. Most probable is your CL memory timings are set too agressively, yes you may have purchased ram that's guaranteed to run at those speeds, but don't bet on it actually working at those speeds. I've never seen an Opteron/Athlon64 motherboard that could run at CL2, period! Closing this bug. -Brad Dear Brad, I checked my memory modules and indeed found that one was buggy. With only the one in the machine, I did not encounter the problem. Sorry for any inconveniance Thomas Hello, rechecked all, build new (full) iso image from 2003-12-22, checked md5, etc. STILL got the kernel panic. So I've got 3 working system on my machine (W2K, FreeBSD 5.2-RC1 amd64, and Mandrake-9.2RC2 amd64), but still can't get Gentoo running. BUT I found the following interessing remark at ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/amd64/RELEASE_NOTES.txt : - MSI K8T Neo boards At this time of writing, there is no BIOS update available yet. However, if you get kernel oopses in the idle task, please boot with "idle=poll" as an interim solution. Maybe this is the same problem the BIOS of the Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP board? Made this remark to the closed bug in case someone has the same trouble... Thomas |
