I recently noticed that my ubuntu install on my htpc was 32bit instead of 64bit.
So I wanted to fix this and get 64bit on there, so after I boot up from my usb stick, the (kernel?) initialization gets stuck and shows messages similar to:
General Protection Fault: 0000 [#24] SMP
Modules linked in: snd_hda_intel(+) snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm ***....etc***
CPU: 0 PID: 2199 Comm: kthreadd Tainted: G D C 3.11.0-15-generic #25~precise1-Ubuntu
Hardware name: NVIDIA MCP7A/MCP7A, BIOS 6.0.0 PG 01/14/2010
**plus a bunch of registers and memory address**
The common text I saw in a few of these messages referenced the RIP register which had "kmem_cache_alloc_trace"
Is there anyway I can get into a console from these screens? So I can get more of the kernel log?
Im booting from a usb, with a iso image copied to it using unetbooting, so the kernel log wont be saved after I reboot.
iirc I had problem installing 64 bit on this machine before which is why I had 32bit on there in the first place, but I do have installed 64bit windows 7 without any problems.
My motherboard chipset is "NVIDIA MCP7A"
my processor is "Intel Pentium E6500 Dual Core Processor 2.93GHZ"
Also I have tested my usb stick in 2 other computers and it can boot into the ubuntu live cd ok
