I just thought this might be interesting to the discussion. I recently bought another 2 GB memory for my computer. My hardware is as following:
Asus Commando (Intel P965 chipset) Intel Core2 Q6600 4x1 GB Geil PC6400 memory nVidia 8800 gts (old g80 core, 640 mb mem) Without booting with pci=nommeconf i have severe stability issues and often when its not crashing i get slowdowns with the error: kern.log:Jan 15 13:19:40 bilbo kernel: [ 132.046715] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0001 ... repeated x times. In addition the nVidia framebuffer seems to "leak" or not update since i get loads of graphics artifacts. The system works perfectly fine with 2 GB memory and not the pci=nommconf. It works like a charm when using pci=nommconf and 4 GB memory. In adition i have to enable the Northbridge->PCI Memory remap feature in the BIOS to avoid the kernel panicing when trying to access > 3 gb but that is understandable :) My software is Kubuntu 7.10 stock x86_64 kernel, but i do use the binary driver by nVidia. It works like a charm when using pci=nommconf If you guys need any more info about hardware/software from me, please let me know. -- Øyvind Vågen Jægtnes +47 96 22 03 08 (i reject your diurnal rhythm and subsitute my own) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
