hi all, i cannot boot any 2.6.32 kernel (i tested back until -rc5) on my nehalem machine (x86_64, 12gb ram). there are bug messages in various (mostly module loader) functions, stating "unable to handle kernel paging request". 2.6.31 on the same machine works like charm. i haven't been able to save a boot log, but it didn't look too different from this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/8/207 thnx, tim -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book. Groucho Marx
