I know, that is why I am wondering why it freezes including the install CD. Even if I would have to have a enterprise kernel (as I read in some other answers), the installer should provide at least an alternative kernel for such situations. It reminds me of the 3G problem on Windows NT and I hate

This is getting weird. With selfcompiled kernel and high memory support still same freeze. With enterprise kernel still freezes. With mem=960M as parameter still freezes. :/ What the heck?!? Huh?!? I am running out of clues here... Anyone faced same problem at any point? Best regards, Adrian

check any unusual parameter in bios (e.g. for 0S/2 memory?). Do you run winblows too? Other possibility is a possible incompatibility between your memories, I suppose. Are they equal models? On Fri, 7 Mar 2003, Adrian Golumbovici wrote: I will try now to boot the existing system by pulling one

Also I checked and mem=960M doesn't help and the enterprise kernel has same problem. I tried lowering the mem value even further and with 900 didn't work. With 800 it worked (both distro kernel and enterprise). :/ Best regards, Adrian - Original Message - From: Adrian Golumbovici [EMAIL

Hi, Anyone know how I can switch my motherboard to work in 4x mode (so to fall back to AGP 2.0)? My bios (latest one) seems to lock itself to AGP 3.0 as soon as I put my AGP 3.0 compliant graphics card in it (Radeon 9700 Pro). :( That makes it that I cannot use the official drivers as AGP 3.0
