Dell PowerEdge 2650 w/ AMD64 Issue
Hey all!
Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 2650 [Latest BIOS A21] Problem: Every time I load the amd64 CD it hangs after trying to load the kernel from CD. I have tried all the normal things such as removing USB objects, ACPI options, and various BIOS options. boot -c w/ disable acpi has no effect either. I have Googled around and have not run into anyone with a similar issue. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free EDIT: Sorry Was ment for NetBSD Install Forum Last edited by Eam404; 14th July 2008 at 07:20 PM. Reason: Retardedness |

Checksum of ISO good? Memtest anygood? Maybe bad memory...

Thanks tad1214
Yes I verified the Checksum already, and the memory passes without issue EDIT: For shits I removed 4 gigs of ram and left 2 -- Same hanging issue Last edited by Eam404; 14th July 2008 at 07:27 PM. |

I don't think those are 64-bit processors.
2650 shows no 64bit processor http://www.google.com/search?q=dell+...ient=firefox-a 2850 shows Nocona-based Xeon processor Intel EM64T technology http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...it&btnG=Search Last edited by tad1214; 14th July 2008 at 08:34 PM. |

Well I came to the same conclusion -- Go figure
Time to research PAE on NetBSD -- I assume thats the only way to use 6gb of ram on i386? Thanks! Last edited by Eam404; 14th July 2008 at 08:05 PM. |

Another alternative is those boxes support spare sticks of ram for fail over, maybe something to look into?
