Bug Description
Impossible to boot with kernel 2.6.17-10-server on a EPIA M10000.
No problems during the hard disc installation, with ubuntu-
After the boot and grub message , the screen fills with lines :
Unknown Interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294
Unknown Interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294
Unknown Interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294
Unknown Interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294
until the computer reboots itself.
The md5sum of the iso file was OK.
The CD test integrity was also OK.
Tests have been made with different boot options:
- acpi=off
- noapic nolapic
- pci=noacpi
To post a comment you must log in.
This is because the 2.6.17-10-server kernel is compiled with HIGHMEM64G support, which requires PAE, but the Via C3 processor used on most Epias does not support PAE. You will have to use a kernel without HIGHMEM64G support (HIGHMEM4G will work, as will NOHIGHMEM).
The same problem occurs on certain Pentium M CPUs. Most other CPUs since Pentium Pro support PAE.
I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu server; maybe someone else can let you know if there's another kernel available in the installer if the above is not sufficient help. Failing that, you should be able to install using the "alternate" rather than "server" CD.
