Hi everybody. I have a major problem that I was hoping someone could help me with. My company has just bought three new servers based on Intel server main boards, w/SCSI on board etc. However, whenever I try to boot the installation CD or disk on either one of them, it crashes dumping the processors internal registers. I've seen multiple similar instances in the mailing list archive, but apparently no one has ever found a solution to this. This problem occurs even before the BTX loader has actually started. I've tried the 4.0-REL, 4.1-RC3 and 5.0-SNAP (latest). A tiny detail I noticed was the difference between 4.0-REL and 4.1-RC3 was that on 4.1-RC3 the system said "BTX halted" instead of "System halted". The registers printed look much like this: int=0xd err=0 efl=0x30006 eip=0x6a6 eax=0xce055 ebx=0x2900216 ecx=0x4 edx=0x80 esi=0x323b edi=0x3228 ebp=0x0 esp=0x3fa cs=0xca80 ds=0xca80 es=0x9c80 fs=0x9c80 gs=0x9c80 ss=9abe es:eip=26 0f 01 14 0f 20 c0 0c-01 0f 22 c0 eb 00 b8 10 ss:esp=0c 32 21 02 90 02 95 09-c0 9b 82 00 b0 18 a4 e9 BTX halted The specs of the servers are as following: Intel G440GX+ mainboard Intel PRO 100+ Server NIC x2 SRCU21 RAID Controller The mainboard has a onboard Adaptec controller (AIC-7896N) which is supposedly diabled in the BIOS and 512MB ECC RAM. Also, onboard IDE w/40x CDROM at the secondary master. Any information at all is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
