Is there any non obvious way to deal with F25 Unsupported DIMM detected on an RS/6000 7024-E30? The machine was disassembled and reassembled years ago, after what it wouldn't post - nothing could be seen on the LCD. Since it's big and I have to downsize my collection I decided today to try to revive it one last time. I reseated the CPU module, the DIMMs and launched it. It fails with "Unsupported DIMM", but these were the modules this machine came with and it ran with them (2 DIMMs, 64 MB each, in the first 2 slots). Any hints what could be wrong?

Have to ask: are you sure nothing's wrong with the DIMM or the socket?

Well, I'm not sure, but there's no physical damage on the DIMMs or the sockets. It seems these are 5V DIMMs and I don't have another computer to test them. I've installed them in DIMM 0 and DIMM 1 - does the RS/6000 have any requirement on how to install the modules? Do I have to have installed both?
