There was a thread earlier this month regarding the Tyan S2885 MB, and 8 GB of memory. I'm seeing a the same problem on similar hardware with SuSE 9.2 (2.6.8-24). To recap, problems with peripheral devices with limited addressing capability when greater than 2 GB of memory is present. thanks, -bob
Turn off the USB controller and it seems to fix the memory issue. Brad On Tue, 2004-12-28 at 14:14, Bob Lee wrote:

The latest kernel update (2.6.8-24.10-smp) via Yast fixed it for me. I have a tyan 2885 with 8 GB ram. No need to diable USB (which didnt work for me anyway because of the nvidia driver). Now it all works fantastic. Be aware that if you have kernel-um installed (I didnt even knw I had it until later), you may have have to run mkinitrd manually before you reboot. Mark
