Hi,
I hope that someone out there can help me. I have an 8-way Opteron running
Fedora 5. Yesterday I attempted to add 8 Gb of ECC RAM to the current 8 Gb of
ECC RAM, and upon selecting the OS from the GRUB menu got a kernel panic
screen. I've since removed the new RAM, returning the memory configuration to
exactly the starting state, and still no luck. I've also tried to run
memtest86 but it hangs, and I cannot boot into linux rescue mode. The message
that I get there is:
kernel direct mapping tables up to 200000000 @ 8000-8000
PANIC: early exception rip ffffffff801172db error 0 cr2 ffffffffff5fd023
PANIC: early exception rip ffffffff801172db error 0 cr2 ffffffffff5fd023
The system reports 7166 MB of memory present. I am going to try the memory
modules one at a time, and hope that the problem lies there. A different
hardware problem would not be good, and a hard disk problem would be
horrible.
Thanks for any help!
