Re: rx2660 + debian

cpuinfo was from RHEL 5.4 environment. IIRC it had 2.6.18 kernel, that's why such a tight model name. I'll give more details on my next boot with a fresh snapshot...

None of the kernels from 5.x tree worked for me. Everytime I hit that memcpy BUG. I've booted off from https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2019-07-16/ - it was perfect in terms of initial boot and launching the install shell. But then it stuck at "detect and mount CD" (step 3 of launcher).

Hm, this doesn't contain the model name for some reason.

What kernel are you running there currently?

And what 5.x kernel specifically doesn't work correctly for you?

According to its frequency readout it could be a 9040 (Montecito) or a
9140N (Montvale) (see [1] for details).
