Yes. When Intel went from 36-bit to 38-bit physical memory addressing, you had to be running a kernel capable of doing 38-bit addressing or you'd get wacky errors in your system logs. We had a bunch of Poweredge 1950s reporting CPU errors and flashing their orange lights, but never had any system crashes. On the SAGE or LOPSA list, somebody reported similar errors with HP Proliants. Here's the RedHat knowledgebase article on it: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_85_11695 -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
