Install problem ...
Hi all... I just put together an AMD/450 system. I'm trying to install 9.2 on it. But I'm gettting this error: Kernel: Bad Page state at prep_new_page (in process 'y2base' page c1147fe0) Then it tells me its trying to fix the problem, but I must reboot. So far I've not been able to boot the system or finish the install. I'm sure that the SuSE disks are ok (I've used them on two other systems). So it must be a hardware problem. Can anyone give me an idea what is wrong?

That's assuming this is a desktop. For production systems, particularly servers, you'd really like to let it run over a weekend (to "burn-in") before doing any holistic stress testing &/or benchmarking.

Hi Jim,

This was the problem. The system is a mix of 168 pin and 72 pin memory. So this morning I took out the 72 pin memory, which I really didn't need anyway and it worked fine.

Try the "failsafe" mode for the installation. Is your RAM O.K. and enough? The polarizer polarizers at it's best http://www.codixx.de/polarizer.html
