Hello I have an IBM e-server x-series 335 with 2 xeon 2.6 GHz and 1 Gig of ram. It uses a built in raid controller I have set up as a Raid 1 with 2 36 GIG hard drives. If I try to install using 64 bit version it tells me that there are know 64 bit CPU and to use other version if I install 32 bit version with the ACPI=off I can get it to install but it locks up all the time. Most time I get a CPU 1 not responding error also when I check the hardware it reports back 2 cpu I would have thought that it should have shown 4 cpus since I have 2 dual core cpus running hyper threading. The severe is an old one and the problem could be in the hardware, I have been using Fedora since core 1 and never ran into so much trouble dose any one have any experience install fedora on this server?

Can you post the complete configuration of the machine? (CPU model, etc)

You sure you have dual core CPUs and not two single core / HT capable P4 Xeon CPUs (hence the lack of x86_64 support)?

You best bet is to download CentOS 5.4 i386 DVD and see if it works. If it doesn't, you're looking at a hardware issue. If it does, you'll have to connect your machine via serial cable to another machine so you could post the complete kernel boot log.

I'm Sorry for not trying your suggestions yet I have been quite busy and this is a server I'm setting up on my spear time for our church school for the end of the year. I did down load CentOS 5.4 i386 live and was not able to get it to run with apci on I did get a CPU 0 stop responding error. I ran the bios hardware diagnoses and everything keeps coming up good except the usb but that might need some kind of loop back I don't know.
