Hi all,
i just bought a new 2x244 opteron,tyan tiger k8s 2870,
4gb registered ecc ram system. no addional cards
inserted, only one IDE and one SATA device.
i tried to run the setup with the original debian
kernel 2.6.6-1-k7-smp, but the system hangs right
after the line "initrd-tools: 0.1.69".
so i downloaded the sources for 2.6.6 and compiled
them myself, optimized for dual opteron. unluckily
exactly the same happens.
when i enable the apic 2.0 support in the bios, the
system hangs even ealier right after the first
"calibrating delay loop...".
when i boot the system with the "nosmp" and apic 2.0
disabled (normal apic still enabled) the system
hangs somewhere after "hda: max request size...".
the only way to get the system running is to fully
disable the apic support in the bios and run the
system with "nosmp". :-(((
i hope that anyone could help me,
corin

Hi again,
one thing left:
when i boot using the 2.4.26-k7-smp kernel, the system also
hangs. sometimes when saying "loading data into ramdisk.."
and sometimes later. one time a "decompression error..."
was displayed. when i boot using "nosmp", the system
boots fine. with the 2.4.26 kernel, i dont need to disable
APIC completely.

I have an ancient dual processor Pentium III machine (ASUS CUV4X-DLS)
for which I had to disable MPS 1.4 in the BIOS to get it to work.
Apparently there's not much difference between MPS 1.1 and 1.4. Give it
a whirl. At worst it'll cost you two reboots.

Hi!
thanks you your reply. unluckily i cant find an option
for that in the bios. its the latest bios available.
one more debug output:
when the system hangs after "vfs: mounted root (cramfs filesystem)"
it sometimes outputs:
CPU 1: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000000000004
Bank 4: b200000000000000000070f0f
Kernel panic: CPU context corrupt
can anyone help me with that? would be really nice!!
does anybody have a running dual opteron system here?
could anyone tell if my hardware has errors or if
this is software related..?
Thanks,
Corin

i think this is errata 96(?). tyan has a bios upgrade for it, and other
companies should too.
i got it when i first put my box together and i haven't seen it since i
upgraded the bios.
