Hi all, I have a Clevo laptop (sold as Xxodd) with an Intel P9500 and 4GB Ram.
Some history: I purchased the laptop (last summer) and tried to install the current Ubuntu 64-bit and Fedora 64-bit. The effect in both cases was endless rebooting and I couldn't get it to work. I installed CentOS 5.2 64Bit and was able to get most of the system working. One of the remaining anoyning problems was that when I do 'shutdown' the system woould shutdown and reboot. Now last week I upgraded the system to CentOS 5.3 64Bit (newer kernel) and I was faced with this problem again. Because centOS has an Interactive startup I figured out that the system rebooted during the startup of the "kudzu" and "cpuspeed" services. So I disabled these and the system worked (always at fullspeed :( ) yesterday I read this bug report and descided to try the mentioned mem=4096m solution. So I added the mem=4096m option (to my CentOS 5.3) and all my troubles have gone. The system now works like a charm and also when I do a shutdown the system actually powers off when I shutdown. My assesments based on this and all the stories above: This is a kernel issue. -- 64-bit Intrepid automatic permanent reboot loop related to having exactly 4GB of memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
