My mainboard has place for two DDR1 memory sticks. I have two identical V-GeN 1GB sticks which should be the max for my mainboard. With one stick in the first slot the computer runs okay. As soon as I insert the second stick in slot number two the booting of openSUSE 13.1, Tumbleweed ends with a kernel panic. Have extracted the text from the photo I made from the information. -------------------------- Hardware name: P4i65GV/P4i65GV, BIOS P2.30 Call trace: try_stack_unwind+0x156/0x170 dump_trace+0x53/0x180 show_trace_log_lvl+0x46/0x50 show_trace_log_lvl+0x51/0xe8 show_stack+0x27/0x50 dump_stack+0x3e/0x4e panic+0x87/0x195 kernel_init+0xd8/0xe0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x21/0x30 rest_init+0x70/0x70 DWARF2 unwinder stuck at kernel_init+0x0/0xe0 Leftover inexact backtrace: Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xc0200000 (relocation range 0xf7ffdfff Rebooting in 90 seconds .. -------------------------- The strange thing is that e.g. Puppy and even a newly installed Windows 7 on the computer do not have a problems with the 2GB memory and seem to work okay. Not a windows user so i have not tried it fully out but so far I saw no problems. Puppy 5.2 works as expected with an older kernel. Is this a problem with openSUSE or is it caused by the kernel used? Have also tried a fresh install with kernel 3.11.6.4. No luck. With that kernel the machine instantly reboots without any information whats however.
