This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0055_01C0974B.B3BB1EA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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 ...It don’t Mean a Thaing, if you Cain’t get that ping... Brandon S.
