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.

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.
Somebody an idea what I should do?
Extract the memory stick. Clean both stick contacts and the slots too (Be careful with the Electro Magnetic Discharges. Need to follow the proper ESD procedures), and install both memory sticks again. Sometimes they get dirty or a little bit loose. It makes false contacts giving multiple inconsistent issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
