Hi Chrisitian,
You might want to take a look at the Linux kernel amilling list. One of
my friends had issues with his dual Xeon and 4Gigs of RAM. In his case,
Windows would claim to see the 4Gigs but would actually crassh when he
actually came to use more than 3...sounds fammiliar?
In Linux, he'd get a kernel panic on boot (2.6.x kernels)...after over 6
months of poking at forums and the LKML, his bug was officially received
as valid from the kernel gurus and eventually fixed....
hope this helps a little in your investigation...
Aiiii! doesn't sound that good, however, better having a bug from blocking
me my 4th GB than a statement like "just just can't" :)
I'm following the LKML not that long yet to have cought up your friends
message, but I'll try a new thread then.
THANKS ALL!
The problem has been a misconfigured BIOS setup. Well, It was already
misconfigured as I received the machine by my local shop. However, setting
Memhole to "Software" has fixed this issue for good :-D
(Now I can start coding mem-eating apps ^o^)
cool. for this reason I always load the defaults of the bios of each
system I build (and I usually flash to the latest stable bios too).
hope it all goes well for you :)
Thanks,
Christian Parpart.
