Hi Guys,
I have just upgraded to a P4
2.5 and I do not seem to be able to install/run Linux anymore
:-(
During a fresh install the
system hangs when trying to uncompress the Kernel (no error
messages) and I cannot even boot off my existing 7.3 installation, the
system simply reboots straight after GRUB
For test purposes, I booted
Windows, loaded all the drivers and started stress testing the system, the
hardware seems to be fine, I ran it for many hours looping in various
benchmarks/games, etc.
I tried numerous BIOS settings,
adjusting the memory timings and speeds down, etc, fail safe defaults, BIOS
upgrade...., I also did a Linux medicheck on the new Redhat 8.0 CD's to no
avail.
Any Ideas ?
My System
Epox 4g4a
Intel P4
2.5
2 x 256MB
DDR
Leadtek 128MB
Ti4200
I remember reading somewhere
about problems with P4's and something about a CPU database, but I don't really
think this is related ?
I can't wait to get Linux
running on this beast...
Thank Guys
Brett
