Hello all,
I'm setting up a new box. It's an Intel SRKA4:
http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/srka4/
This uses the Serverworks II He chipset. It has 16 DIMM slots. I have 4 Xeon
700 w/ 1MB cache installed. On the first try I populated all 16 slots with
256MB modules (4GB). In this configuration booting to the 4.2 install CD
caused some kind of panic or another (I didn't write it down). I then tried
again after removing 3GB RAM and the install ran smooth as silk.
Is there a kernel tweak needed here?
Thanks in advance,
~Brandon
