Page fault on Tyan K8S Pro (S2882) board

[Mark Bojara]

Hello All,

For the last 3 weeks I have been trying to get this motherboard to run with 5.3-STABLE. Basically what happens is if I run the box at 100% utilization the server is stable but as soon as I let it idle and do basic Apache webserver tests and other small apps an hour after that the server will crash. I have tried enabling debug support in my kernel to supply the mailing list with a debug of the error but it seems that when it page faults the entire machine locks up. Please let me know if you require any additional information.

Spec:
2 x AMD Opteron 242 CPU's
1 x 1GB Corsair PC2700 Memory Module
Bios Version 2.03E


Error:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpu id =1; apic id=01
fault virtual address   = 0x18

panic: page fault
cpuid = 1

uptime 10h3m45s

I have also tried disabling ACPI to see if thats the problem but the server still crashes

Thanks Alot
