but I wanted to add the tickless option to my AMD64 kernel so I

patch-2.6.23-hrt1.patch.bz2


I couldn't find patch-2.6.23-hrt1.patch.bz2 on that page.
but I could see patch-2.6.23-hrt2.patch.bz2 and patch-2.6.23-hrt3.patch.bz2.
it seems newer than what you downloaded. if so, let's try it:-)

Cheers,

What kind of system was the ram in before?

 Oh well, guess I'm getting new RAM.

Get GOOD ram.  Athlon64/Opteron systems are picky.  Well known name
brand ram is not much more money than generic (and usually crap) ram.

 thanks, sorry to trouble the list with such a trivial thing.

Ram is not trivial on AMD systems. :)

 Thanks again for the help ...  the RAM was used for about 4 months in
 a desktop P4 system on an Asus board.  It is good RAM, Micron from
 Crucial.  I suppose I must have shocked and killed it moving it, but
 before this I have never had that happen in 20 years (and I've built
 many systems.)

 I've ordered Corsair as a replacement.

 thanks!

 Rob


Lately, I mounted 2 stick of ram from one MB to a Asus MB with a AMD Athlon 
4400, and I got the system either not starting (kernel panic) or, when it 
started, I soon had bad memory access, and the system would freeze. I put new 
ram in and everything was OK, except I was frustrated to have lilled the 
memories. First time it happended to me. Then I tried to put them back in, 
and I changed the memory voltage in the bios from auto to 2 V. And, guess 
what, they worked fine, and are still in!!!
My 2 ct.

The memory may be as good as it was when you received it.  It still may
work perfectly on the P4.  However, the P4 is (most likely) more
tolerant of memory being off-spec than an AMD which seems to expect that
memory will be at least as good as spec and uses it to its max.

Doug.

It sure is newer, but unfortunately the problem is not there... pristine 
sources do not compile either :)

Sorry to be jumping in late. I tried compiling 2.6.23.1 and faced no
problems. It compiled fine.
