hi, i have been installing the redhat 7.3 on some machines at office.
all the systems crash after some time. keyboard, mouse and everything stops working. the monitor freezes. when i looked at the dmesg, this is what i found Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 202M agpgart: Detected an Intel i810 E Chipset. agpgart: detected 4MB dedicated video ram. agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe4000000 [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel i810 @ 0xe4000000 64MB [drm] Initialized i810 1.2.0 20010920 on minor 0 mtrr: base(0xe4000000) is not aligned on a size(0x12c000) boundary memory : cfe10ea0 memory : cfe10ee0 memory : cfe10f20 This happens on all the hosts that i installed linux. Those machines that are working fine do not have these error messages. appreciate anyone helping me fix this problem. regards, output of dmesg: Linux version 2.4.18-3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)) #1 Thu Apr 18 07:37:53 EDT 2002 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000feec000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000feec000 - 000000000feef000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000feef000 - 000000000feff000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 000000000feff000 - 000000000ff00000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) On node 0 totalpages: 65260 zone(0): 4096 pages. zone(1): 61164 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
