Hi: My parallel computer (Supermicro main board H8QC8, 4 dual opteron 875 CPUs, two WD Raptor under RAID1 with grub on both; 24 GB ECC Kingston) with amd64 lenny was shut down correctly. Now, after a few days untouched, it does not load the OS, even trying as a single user. The OS should load without X system. The X system is called with <startx> the rare times it is needed.
Access to BIOS shows everything in order. Then, when trying to load the OS, it looks for the CPUs etc, then the screen shows: Freeing unused kernel memory 316 k Loading, please wait input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 For a while a blinking cursor, then a series of lines starting with RDX RBP R10 R13 FS CS CR2 DR0 DR3 then: Call Trace: ffff do_oage fff handle_mm_fault fff vma_link fff error_exit fff clear_user fff padzero fff get_arg_page fff copy_strings fff search_binary_handler fffdo_execve fff sys_execve fff stub_execve After that such lines alternate, and the whole <Call Trace> starts several times anew, everything disappears from the screen and can't be recovered with the keyboard. I found no alternative to shut down the UPS power supply. Thanks for any guess how to do. francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
