Alrighty. I'm having a hell of a time and I need help. I'll try to
give as much information as possible.
----------
HARDWARE
----------
MB:
Supermicro PDSBM-LN2+
Intel 946GZ
ICH7R + Intel® 82573
Memory:
Crucial 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb modules matched to above MB.
Processors:
Intel Celeron 420 Conroe-L, 1.6GHz 512KB 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E6320, 1.86Ghz 4Mb 64-bit
Intel Pentium E2140 Allendale (Dual Core), 1.6GHz 1M 64-bit
Hard Disks:
Various Western Digital and Seagate SATA Drives
----------
----------
BIOS (Rev 1.0 as well as Rev 1.0a)
----------
Disabled Native Mode
Disabled Native Mode with ACPI
Enabled SATA Native Mode
----------
KERNEL PARAMS (singularly and combination)
----------
acpi=off, pci=nommconf, pci=bios, nohz=off, noapic, nolapic,
pci=routeirq, maxcpus=1
----------
ATA_PIIX loads at startup, sometimes ACPI depending on my BIOS
settings. Always after verifying dependencies, and typically during
the disk format process, the installation freezes. I get a "kernel
panic - not syncing" in text mode. Single disks, dual disks, LVM,
no-LVM, software RAID, even when disks are on a Promise SATA300-TX4.
The single-core Celeron processors work fine, but none of the dual
core processors work. I'm using 5 sets of hardware, so bad hardware
is unlikely. I'm stumped.
Anyone out there with similar problems and/or workarounds? Any ideas?
-Ken
