Re: Debian Install Hangs

[Blake Hodder]

If I use 'expert nohz=off' I do not get it to hang on hyper threading. However I get a kernal panic with CPU 0: machine check exception: 4 bank 4: b20000100010c0f TSC 43b9780a78 I am using a net install image.

Google suggests passing "noapic" to the kernel at boot time. It can be worth a try :-? What Debian version are you installing... lenny, squeeze? I have tried using "noapic" at boot time but it still hangs at Hyper threading. Also I am installing lenny. I don't like workarounds like this, but... how about disabling HT in BIOS? Supermicro boards use to have a "enable/disable" switch for that setting. If the installation can proceed normally, then you can toggle on again when it finishes. If you prefer to be more conservative (like me) you can also try to load a LiveCD of Lenny and see what happens. Also, check if there is an updated BIOS revision for your board. If yes, I would ask Supermicro to get some feedback before applying it, but it could be another path to try :-? Greetings, -- --
