Fatal problem, possibly related to AIC79xx
Hi all,
I'm trying to install Linux (in particular Debian) to our new servers. These servers are based od motherbard SuperMicro X5DL8-GG with aic7902 without RAID, 1GB RAM, one XEON 3.06GHz
I have two, really strange problems, first of all I have noticed, that with enabled SMP support kernel detects TWO processors, but only one is physically installed.
The second problem is, that I am not able to run almost any program. E.g. if I try to execute free I'll get "Illegal instruction", for mount I'll get "Segmentation Fault".
What I've tried:
Vanilla kernels 2.4.25, 2.4.26, 2.6.6, 2.6.7. And almost all
combinations with/without:
* SMP
* APIC
* Highmem
* MTRR
All without ACPI and with aic79xx and e1000 build in kernel.
I've tried Knoppix 3.4. The strange think was that I was unable to
load module for aic79xx, because of "no such device".
Does anyone have any idea how to solve my problems?
Thank you, best regards,
Antonin Kral
Looks like a hardware problem to me. Perhaps higher transfer rates obtained with aic7xxx triggers it faster. You should really run cpuburn (burnBX) and memtest86 on this box.

I've run memtest for more than 48 hours. And actually I have two boxes with same behaviour. I was thinking about more precise check of SCSI bus termination...
