January 21, 20215 yr Running v6.8.3, unraid pro. System been rock solid for 8+ years, have older hardware (M/B FOXCONN A7DA-S/A7DA, CPU Athlon X2. Recently installed plex so wanted to upgrade RAM. Had 2x 1GB corsair DDR2 sticks. Replaced with 2x kingston 4GB sticks purchased off ebay. System /BIOS recognises RAM, however it continually fails during unRAID boot due to kernel panic. Attached screen shots of boot log. If input old RAM in, system boots again. Started a memtest and ran for 10 mins seemed to be ok (but recognised at 660mhz vs the 800 it should be). saw a couple posts about this saying newer versions of unraid aren't compatible with some older hardware, is that the issue here?

January 21, 20215 yr Author RAM is spec'ed for 800, so its underclocked if anything. Maybe i need to play with ram settings in bios to get it matched (have let it auto configure at this stage). RAM settimgs appear a bit sparse on this mobo, but did see a couple timing options. Edited January 21, 20215 yr by Ostrich79
