Hello all. I have now tested all of the memory in the system. It all appears to work. SUSE works fine with <=4GB of ram in the system. After that it always fails independent of APIC and IOMMU settings. However, when I attempt to reinstall SUSE again, the install boots and works fine with the 6GB in the system. Any ideas? I would rather not wipe it again. Thanks, Santiago (I have followed all of the 4Gb discussions for this board, the MSI board, and all of the other boards that have been posted to the list).

I really have no idea. I fear that I need exactly such a failing system sealed and send to us to look at :-(. It might be everything memory type, BIOS bugs, Kernel bug etc. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Deutschherrnstr. 15-19, 90429 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
As much as I would like to send a system to you, my employer would certainly not agree. I can send any debugging information you might wish, if you act now. ;) I am getting ready to wipe it. If there is any information that anyone would like collected, please let me know asap.

I know, I just wanted to say that some things are really hard to debug if you do not have physical access to a failing system...
now. ;) I am getting ready to wipe it. If there is any information that anyone would like collected, please let me know asap.
The complete boot log as far as it gets - attach a serial console for this... Andreas
Thanks,
Santiago
