I just built up a server running CentOS 4.3, and trying to boot from a 3Ware 9550SX-16ML, 16 port card. This system has 9x500GB drives, AMD Opteron, Tyan K8SD mobo and 1 GB of ram. I downloaded the latest (9.3.0.4) driver from 3Ware, and after a couple of botched attempts, I got CentOS installed. In my two botched attempts, the problem was X hanging during the formatting of the drives, so I switched to another virtual screen while formatting took place,...

...ay just be a timing thing. We can just forget about cpuspeed, but if any of you have any advice, we'd appreciate it. Otherwise I am basically posting this to save diagnostic time for those who encounter these symptoms in the future. These are dual-core dual Opteron 265/270 servers with Tyan K8SD Pro motherboards. Thanks, Dan

...hugemem or not doesn't make a difference. We have seen this on many boxes, so it's not bad memory. We do NOT see this problem if we run CentOS 4.4 x86_64 on the same boxes, using the same 32-bit test executables. We also don't see this problem on some slightly older boxes with Tyan K8SD motherboards running CentOS 4.4 i386 (also Opteron 265's, with 8GB of 1GB DIMMs). We have been looking at BIOS settings, but haven't seen anything that stands out. memtest86 does not show errors. Thanks for any suggestions of what this issue might be, Dan

We've had a spate of these lately - about 3 or 4 boxes. I have a feeling we just got a bad run of motherboards, but thought I'd try to get some feedback. These are servers running with the Tyan Thunder K8SD (dual core AMD's, S2882 model). They have three onboard NIC's, two Broadcom gig NIC's BCM5704C's and an Intel 82551QM which is a 10/100 board. We use the Broadcom NIC's in this case with the tg3 driver. The kernel panics happen somewhat at random, though most frequently s...
