------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-12 21:58 ------- It shows up on the new NVidia cards though, as well as the new ATI cards. My working theory is these cards have more memory than the older ones do, which is what confuses things. Either the kernel framebuffer code doesn't handle this memory properly (and needs to be updated), or the bios/card is reporting the wrong amount of memory to Linux. I can install with an old Gforce 2 card (32M of ram), but not with a new Gforce 4 Ti4200 (128M of ram). Looked at from that point of view, how much memory do all of the problematic cards have? Will the framebuffer code in the 2.6 kernel (2.5.XX right now), which I believe has been updated, handle it properly? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Trying to load the installer kernel after isolinux loads hangs the machine with flashing caps/scroll lock LEDs. Is highmem enabled in the installer kernel? I will try to remove a DIMM and see what happens. (h/w is dual MP1900 on ASUS A7M266-D mobo, 1G RAM, various other stuff).
