Well, we added

Perhaps you know if there is a way, short of recompiling the kernel, to suppress the agpgart-related modules? Can you answer these questions: I have a nVidia board (and no mainboard graphics), do I need the agpgart and / or intel_agp kernel modules at all? And if not, how can I suppress them so I can reenable memory mapping and regain use of my system's RAM above 3GB? The facts I have about symptoms are: 1) The start-up logging to the primary console (as in ALT-F1) shows these lines: -==- Starting udevd Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 965G Chipset. -==- At this point, the system hangs hard, requiring a power cycle or a press of the reset button to get out. 2) The BIOS has feature that allows remapping of PCI I/O addresses out of the 3GB - 4GB region so RAM in that region may be accessed. Disabling that option alleviates the symptom (and renders 1 GB of my RAM inaccessible, of course). 3) The kernels supplied with alpha5, beta1, beta2 and RC1 did not have this problem. The GM release's kernel does. The hardware is: - Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU - Intel P965 (_not_ G965) chipset - ICH8R Other hardware information is available here: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=307&model=1295&modelmenu=1.
Does it work with vanilla 2.6.19? All these patches are from 2.6.19 (I think).
I don't know. I don't know how to find out.
