When the 6 * 1GB chips are installed and the system booted, the first splash screen (for selecting boot options) with the vertical progress bars comes up. After this screen times out a message flashes up and the screen goes blank and the boot process has hung. With 4 *1GB chips installed the system goes through the same process except that after the screen goes blank, for a short period later a graphic screen comes up showing the kernel loading progress.
Press F2 and go for text mode - perhaps you see then an error... This is normal setup, just "Installation"? Andreas

I have upgraded my kernel to the latest 2.4.19 SMP kernel available form SuSE. I noted in one of the readme files that the 4GB memory problems had been corrected. I have a dual Processor MSI K8D Master System Board, which still does not operate when each of the 6 memory slots has a 1GB chip installed. This there a problem with my BIOS settings, or is there still a problem with the Kernel?
What problems have you experienced with >4GB RAM? Please post details. There is also a remaining problem that booting "Linux Safe mode" does not work. -- David
