Here we are:

 

This weekend i have sobstitute the 5135 with 5405 (quad core).

 

The system boots up, but, there is a bit what!

I have many kernel panics with the same error on processor and the system goes up only after serveral shout downs due kernel panic.

The statitics are 10-15 kernel panics before the system goes up.

When the system goes up there is no trouble, it see 4 cores (Cpu monitor shows me the 4 cores correctly and working) and the system fly!

I have tweaked the cpu settings in the bios, no matter what config i set, the kernel panics are the same and the system goes up only after many reboots and kernel panics.

This is very strange because if the system goes up 1 time it should goes up all the times.

There is any idea in this? Is the bad kernel, bad bios or configuration in it? I'm running phoenix bios (1.3c) and iatkos 1.0i (leo 1.5.0)
