Im still having problems with the linux-image-2.6-k7.
Almost every time before it can even get to the login screen, during the boot up text spam the PC just turns off instantly. Maybe 1 out of 10 attempts I can finally get to the login screen and log in, but within a short time, it just turns off instantly.
I've reinstalled Debian from the install CD, and then did the apt-get install to install that kernel again so I can get over 1 gig of ram, but the PC is still crashing on boot up.
I have 2 rams slots, each with a 2 gig stick. I tried 1 ram stick at a time and 1 slot at a time, but same thing happens. The ram is new, and when booting up with the default kernel that uses only 1 gig of ram it works fine without crashing.
Maybe its a setting in BIOS? I tried setting the BIOS to default values, and it booted up, thought I fixed it, but that just happened to be my 1 out of 10 lucky boot ups, for a short time of course.
Memtest is almost done running now, and so far no errors at all.
The only cards installed is my NIC for the internet. There is no video cards in any slots, just the one built into the mother board. Its a very basic PC that I had put together online.
Im working from a fresh install of Debian, with fresh apt-get kernel, with no other edits to any files. Im out of ideas how to get a kernel working to recognize the dual-core AMD /w 4 gig ram without Crashing.
Maybe try apt-get on another kernel? I dont know what kernels to get for 32bit AMD that recognizes dualcore+ and over 1 gig ram.
Please help. Thanks.
