This has become a really weird problem, and I'm suspecting it's a hardware problem now. It still crashes with a CentOS 5 64 bit boot disk. I've taken a previously working server, running CentOS 5 64-bit on an intel core duo. I've upgraded it with a new motherboard ( gigabyte GA-965P-S3 ), cpu ( Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 ) and 2x2GB memory ( Adata DDR2 533 ), as the old board would only take 2GB. It'll boot off any 32 bit live CD, but as soon as I try to boot a 64 bit one, it crashes - as usual the stack dump is mostly invisible except for the last page on the screen. I've tried the momory both dual and sigle channel, replaced the cpu with the old working one, and the same thing happens every time. I haven't tried putting the old memory in, mind. Has anyone else had similar problems? Cheers, Steve
