Let's try the easy stuff first -- if it's crashing with a machine check exception, then let's disable machine check exceptions, and see if things still break. Try booting with the parameter "nomce". Be aware that mce is a mechanism for the processor to inform the kernel of thermal issues or component failure. You'll only want to disable this mechanism if you aren't having thermal problems. Of course, if you are having thermal problems, it's probably a good idea to resolve those before cranking up the other 3/4s of your system. ; ) Hope that helps! -Phil/CERisE P.S. I came a little late to this party -- I didn't see the original message. Did you include the text of the kernel crash? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-smp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
