Hello all, After having installed PCQLinux on a machine with 4GB of RAM, and a SCSI hdd, I'm having trouble booting. The Kernel starts off well enough, and init seems to come up - but as soon as that happens, all i see is a bunch of slanting lines on a black background.
After checking it out on the internet, I came to the conclusion that the problems may lie in one of the following areas (*Possibly): 1)ACPI - I tried passing acpi=off without any results 2)SCSI issues - i tried hda=ide-scsi without any results 3)The possiblity of a Direct Memory Access problem which Linux seems to face with more than 1GB of memory (Why/How does this happen?). There was something mentioned about CONFIG_HIGHMEM on a bunch of forums, but I'm assuming thats somewhere in the X config - device drivers section? Or is it something to do with other kernel parameters to be set from somewhere else? TIA, Cheers!
