Greetings,
I’m a relatively new linux user attempting to use a old HP Compaq dc7800 as a small, personal server running OpenSUSE Leap 15.3. I have four total sticks of RAM, 1 GB each totaling to 4 GB of RAM. They are the exact same model of RAM. The BIOS sees all four sticks. The computer boots up fine when I have either two sticks in slots 1 and 3, be it the new one or the old ones. When I install all four sticks of RAM, the computer tries to boot into OpenSUSE Leap but throws an error:
“Kernel panic - not syncing: Hard LOCKUP”
“Kernel Offset: 0xa00000 from oxffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff8000000000-0xffffffffbffffffff)”
I’ve tried to also to reinstall OpenSUSE with all four sticks in, with no luck. It doesn’t throw a kernel error, the display just bugs out and stops making sense.
Specs:
HP Compaq dc7800 Small Form Factor
Kernel: 5.3.18-59.34-default
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
GPU: Intel 82Q35 Express
RAM: Samsung M378T2953EZ3-CF7

Any advice on how to make it boot with more ram and what this kernel panic is would be greatly appreciated.
