Quoting Scott Silva ssilva@sgvwater.com:
First thing... The motherboard in the link does NOT support 2 processors. Did you send wrong link?
No just having a blond moment. Am I mistaken about the error message about smp_lock being for dual processor support?
Did you try installing with less memory?
No. Unless there is reason to suppect the panic is about memory, I would be reluctant to try that experiment. For one thing, the servers are not convenient to re-rack and they would be more use to me as CentOS 3 boxes with 3G of memory than as CentOS 4 boxes with less RAM.
See if you can boot from the 4.4 live CD.
Just burned one. Off to give it a try.
