Ok. It is booting now with IOMMU aperture at 2GB, APIC off (in bios) and mem=4G. The system now reports an incorrect amount of ram in /proc/meminfo: mojon:~ # cat /proc/meminfo total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 1899364352 238714880 1660649472 0 22364160 79704064 Swap: 4573167616 0 4573167616 MemTotal: 1854848 kB MemFree: 1621728 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 21840 kB Cached: 77836 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 53296 kB Inactive: 46472 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 1854848 kB LowFree: 1621728 kB SwapTotal: 4465984 kB SwapFree: 4465984 kB BigFree: 0 kB Ideas? Also, it was booting before with 6GB without passing anything to the command line. What could have changed/because of the power failure? Nothing comes to mind right away. Thanks for all of the help getting the system booting. Santiago

That's correct, the IOMMU is mapped over your ram and therefore not accounted.
