Title: [Solved] SME9 on old dual Xeon board
Post by: gbentley on April 19, 2016, 10:32:06 PM

Hi All,

I tried to load SME9 onto an old Asus dual Xeon board [populated by two cpu's] There is also 2 x 740GB scsi discs on an Adaptec card BUT only 1GB of DDR333

The install actually went ok however at reboot almost straight away get a kernel panic. Am I being a bit thick in expecting SME9 i386 to run on the above?

Thanks

"1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2
    will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
    means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
    AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
    are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
    Athlon XP and later."
