That is not the command I wrote. Please try again.

I looked for installed RAM/memory among all 228 messages without finding it. :( What does inxi -ma report?

I suggest to download a Bookworm 64bit installation .iso, either regular DVD or NET installer, and burn it to CD (NET .iso) or DVD (DVD .iso) or USB stick (NET .iso or DVD .iso), then try booting it. Optionally, buy one already burned to media from an online source. Prices for these are historically modest. Does it panic, or does the installer initialize? If it initializes, I suggest to replace your 32bit installation with the 64bit OS version that your Intel E5200 processor is designed to use.

Another suggestion: try removing one of the RAM sticks so that the two left installed are in one of the two dual channel pairs, then try booting normally. It's possible you have a memory controller that isn't working as it should using a mixture of dual channel and single channel. If this succeeds, you may wish to add back the 3rd stick, and find a matching 4th stick to add.

Sorry.
I did it. (install Debian 64b with DVD)
3 "stupid" questions.
Isnt the old kernel a problem?
Shall I post the log DEBIAN produced during the update?
What is a RAM- Stick?

Regards and thank You.

Does this mean you are now able to boot Debian from the internal disk of your E5200 PC without getting panic?

It shouldn't be. Is it even still there? What does ls -gGl /boot/vmlinu* /boot/initr* report?

There's no need if nothing is broken. What does inxi -S report?

If you take your PC's cover off you should see 4 slots alike side-by-side, with one empty, and a RAM module or "stick" in each of the other three.

Thank You for friendly help.

ls -gGl /boot/vmlinu* /boot/initr

    v: 0.10.1 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

I did download Debian 12 64 bit. Burned it on DVD.
I put in the DVD
panic crash.

The problem is not solved. "Normal" booting created panic.


The RAM was checked here in the thread.
It is fine.
