Kernel Panic
 

Hello all,

I am installing Fedora Core 1 X86_64 on a new HP Proliant DL145 server. I am installing
plain vanilla from the .iso images from linuxiso.org. I am receiving this message
during boot after a successful install of Fedora:

CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004

Bank 0: b674200000000833 at 000000009be0c840

Kernel Panic: CPU Context Corrupt
In interrupt handler - not syncing

Consequently I receive this on the i386 version on Fedora also. :( My hardware setup is as
follows: 1 AMD Opteron 1.6Ghz processor, 1 GB Advanced ECC PC2700 RAM, AMD 8131 Chipset,
LSI logic LSI21320-R SCSI controller setup in RAID1 with 2 Maxtor 36 GB Atlas IV hard
drives. I am running memtest86 as I type this without any errors but it is only 93% done.
I can boot by passing "nocme" to the kernel at boot. What do you think the problem may
be? :confused: Is there an issue with any of my hardware not being comaptible with Fedora? Thank you for your help.

I have run into kernel panics with RH9 on several Proliant boxes. In several cases I have been forced to go into the BIOS and disable hyperthreading (although I have not worked specifficly with the DL145's), but it may be worth looking into.

Unfortunately the DL145 is AMD Opteron based so it does not have hyperthreading. I will look at some of the BIOS settings and see what I can come up with. Thank you for you post.

did you ever resolve this problem? I'm getting the same thing on RHEL4 on a DL145 G2
