I work at Arizona State University and we're having awful trouble
installing Red Hat Linux 7.3 in one of our Dell computers for research.
We run a MonteCarlo simulation based on GEANT3, and this only works on
RHL 7.3 for unknown reasons.
We have two other Dell computers that are slightly older (but they are
pretty much the same thing) and 7.3 works just fine.
The computer is brand new, just straight from the box, with the
following specs:
Dual 3.4 GHz processors, XEON IRWINDALE
MOTHERBOARD, XEON PAXVILLE
Dual in-line memory module, total of 4GB
Basically, the installation runs flawlessly, but when the computer
boots and Linux starts (where the system is putting all this green
"OK"), the system gives an error:
CPU 0: Machine check exception
Kernel Panic
In idle task: Not syncing
Can anybody tell me if they've had trouble with this before, and if so,
how to solve it? Our research is pretty much stopped until we solve
this problem.
It might not help but you're lucky you got that far with RH7.3 on a
modern Dell box especially with dual processors. I guess it didn't have
SATA disks. 7.3 was out when dual processors weren't that common
and it's bound to give some problems. If I were you I'd be wondering
why the simulation software won't run on something more modern?
