AMD thunderbird oops
Thanks,
I have a heat sink and it is huge about 2 inches, plus fan. Plus another 4" fan in the case. (real nice case).
I think it is the memory, as yesterday my gcc was bombing with 'internel compiler error', which is usually a good mem tester. So I started setting mem=64m and things worked better and the install went all the way through. I think I need to slow my drams down a bit or add some delay in the bios settings.
The oops says something like 'kernel null pointer at address 0x000000'. How do I 'catch' the output of an oops when the filesystem goes and I get ext2fs errors and am forced to reboot and manually run e2fsck?
Lastly with the mem=64M or mem=128M when I do a make dep, I get an error message that says Error 'missing seperator'. What does that mean? It stops in the drivers/net dir when I get this message?
Thanks
Joe

I just upgradede my system to an 1200Mhz AMD Athlon Thundirbird (266Mhz FSB) processor / 512Meg of RAM, and an Asus kt7a motherboard. >
It is oppsing left and right. I recompiled the kernel with Athelon as the CPU but keep getting these oopses..
I also get these same problems while trying to install RH 7.1
Anyone know is this a supported processor / MB and has anyone had these problems?
Random oopses normally indicate faulty board cpu or ram (and the fault may even just be overheating or dimms not in the sockets cleanly). I doubt its the board design or model that is the problem, you probably jut have a faulty component somewhere if its oopsing randomly even during installs and stuff
memtest86, and heatsink compound may be your best friends
Have you considered to change your dimm at all?
If they are bugged they should be under warranty.
