Hi XWindows Forum,

I have a problem, and searching Google didn't help.  I have a new Dell 
Poweredge sc440 which is on the Opensolaris HCL:

I can install and run Opensolaris 0811 with 2GB in this system just fine, but 
with 4GB installed, it locks up just as X is started.  This is even true of the 
live CD, when X starts, it locks up.  I've run Memtest86 for 24 hours now 
without error, and I've also swapped RAM around, and the consistent factor is 
having 4GB RAM in the system.  

I'm thinking there's a shared video conflict or such.  The Dell BIOS is pretty 
simplistic, and I can't really change much, so I think I would need some kernel 
options in the grub.conf, or perhaps /etc/system, but I don't know if anything 
there will help.  Anyone have an idea what's going on/how to fix this?  Since 
this will be a home server, I could run with a text console, but having Gnome 
available would be a plus.

Thanks for any help,

Jon
