Hello Frank and Andi,
may I ask which version of Suse you are using and which BIOS revision your A8V have?
I'm using SuSE 9.3, and the bios is 1013. I recommend you try SuSE 9.3 or perhaps even the latest kernel of the day, because I think there has been a lot of progress for x86_64 between 9.2 and 9.3.
We have A8V with 4x1GB Dimms and Suse 9.2, which don't boot with activated memory remapping. AFAIR there is also no option to choose between software and hardware remapping (what is the difference anyway?).
I don't know about the difference, but the 1013 bios has indeed both options. Maybe it makes a difference in memory access time?
Do you have SCSI-Controllers in your systems? Because during the initialization of the SCSI-controller the boot fails on our system with memory remapping enabled.
Well, likely that's for the same reason the tg3 driver fails with memory remapping enabled, or fglrx does not work (see my other post). So it seems to be the best choice to disable memory remapping :-/ cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
