Michael Shell wrote: With all those kernels, it suggests a BIOS setup problem. Oh, no, these are kernels that I've build in preparation for round two. :-) The only kernels I've tested were the production kernel I was using (EIP errors), the original LFS 6.1.1 kernel with some optimizations (blinking cursor), and an ubuntu 7.10 install disk (kernel error and freeze). At any rate, the kernel should be compiled with HIGHMEM4G support (4GB high memory support), not with HIGHMEM64G nor NOHIGHMEM. Which it does have right now. The board does support up to 8 gig. In the BIOS, check the settings related to on-board video memory sizes and apertures. Generally speaking, lower values are safer. I once had an AGP board that would not boot if the AGP aperture was set above 64MB. IIRC, there was not much of anything in the BIOS settings for the built on video, so that's kind of out.
