Yea I know everyone says "help needed and fast", but this is a production server in our server farm and we were hoping to get it up last night for the launch of our network. Anyways, don't let me bore you with my sappy story, here is the problem...
We are setting up a dedicated database Linux box and the specs can be found here (http://www.realgn.com/upgrade/). Notice the Supermicro board (onboard ethernet, Ultra160 SCSI, and sound), the 1 gig of PC133 ECC ram, and the dual P3 866's. Anyways, we set everything up, put it all on the board and booted for the first time. Yay, it POST'd. Yay it recognized the Ultra160 IBM 10k 18 GB HD. Yay it recognized all the ram.
Past that... *KONK*. Yea, after posting and all the SCSI cards and onboard features from the mobo get loaded up the screen goes blank and we get this error. "EMM386: Unrecoverable Privelege Error" Now if I remember correctly, EMM386.exe in windows is related to low level memory functions right? Well I think we tried every possible combination of ram configurations (1 chip, 2, 3, different locations, paired, etc), and still the same error comes up.
I have been looking through Deja (now owned by google), Northernlight.com, and many other places, but I think I am going to have to revert to posting on forums all over the place to see if anything will popup. I would really appreciate anyone who might know what is causing this.
Thanx a lot guys!
