Regarding the issue that Suse 10.2 x64 hangs, I've already tried the failsafe mode to no result, it still hangs. I'll investigate more tomorrow, since I have to get up in the morning to go to work :) Now, the ATI Driver is probably to blame, though it worked fine on the same system when I had only 2 GB of RAM. Probably he doesn't like the extra 2GB or there is a mixup with the memory addressing, since I am currently using the x32 version of suse (the x64 can't be installed, for it hangs :( ).

Hello,
No, I've added two more DIMMs, but I've made sure they are exactly the same type as the first two (I now have 4xCorsair DDR2 667Mhz, 4-4-4-12). The BIOS settings are ok, and, since all four memories are exactly the same, I've not tried to swap them.
That's what you'd like to believe. This is high speed memory and being produced at different times there will be differences. Since the graphics seems to be the key to your lock-ups I doubt your main memory is the issue.
I've also updated the system bios (my version is from 27.04.2007); it is set to default as far as the timings are concerned. I shall try with the ordinary video drivers tomorrow. BTW, the ZEN kernel works - dunno why (but I have no acceleration for the ATI video driver, which I really hate).
I'm guessing that Xen is using the base radeon 2D driver because I don't believe it supports, or maybe AMD/ATI don't support, 3D on Xen yet (host or guest.?.?).
I've also downloaded an X64 version of the install DVD, but when I try to start the setup, the system hangs at the line:
'Loading basic drivers...'
Try failsafe mode for the install or at least acpi=off and see what happens.
It just stays there forever. I'm beginning to feel sorry I've upgraded the RAM... :(
You probably are uncovering new bug reports! RAM seems fine. It sounds like the classic video driver hang from everything you are reporting.
