Hiya,
Got a slightly odd situation here, leaning towards either the mobo or the RAM-
Finally got round to assembling the server that I've been meaning to for a while now, but I've got a guess the bust bit situation lol. The specs:
Abit KX7-333R board
Duron 1000+
256mb TwinMos RAM
20gb Seagate HDD
Most of these bits were picked up from the MM at one stage or another for the build- Untested by me, but told working. Anyway, after reseating the CPU & HSF after the first attempt failed the machine boots, sort of
The RAID bios initialises if I have it turned on, and then I get this message:
Initiating bootstrap 18h....
The first time I turned it on, it booted fine & loaded Grub (There's already a Linux install on the drive), but attempting to boot gave me a kernel paninc, complaining about not being able to find init among others.
I then powered off the machine, was going to try running memtest from the Grub menu, but it now won't get past the bootstrap message- The screen goes blank & the KB stops.
I'm pretty much suspecting RAM here, but I've got no access to Memtest unless the machine boots & the stuff in the main machine is too big. The only other broken thing could be the mobo, but this seems OK & all BIOS options work nicely.
Thoughts before I try to get hold of the original RAM owner & RMA this stuff?
