I understand but can't I relate this issue to the 2.6.34 kernel version? As I mentioned some e-mails ago, I can run without problem older versions like openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9 (what I found near).
Dunno, but I had nothing but trouble with 2.6.34. I am running 2.6.35 from kernel:/HEAD right now and I haven't had any issues. I didn't black-screen on boot with 2.6.34, but I had a lot of issues. 2.6.36beta is in kernel:/HEAD now. It would be worth giving it a shot. However, I had issues with the previous 2.6.36beta kernels as well.
If you are running an i586 box, I can make the 2.6.35 kernel available (I still have the rpms)
However, I don't think the kernel has anything to do with the ram timing/share video ram issue. (I could be wrong) Regardless, testing another kernel can't hurt....
Would be great if I can get access to the 6.35 kernel as I always prefer stable releases. As you say kernel may has nothing to do with ram sharing but can't yet find a reason why other versions (older in this case) work. In fact I'm seriously thinking in to install openSUSE 11.2 in parallel.
By the way, would you recommend me a way to upgrade my kernel? How can I get that 6.35 version?
Here is my saved 2.6.35-1 kernel rpms from kernel:/HEAD
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE_11.3/kernel/2.6.35/
it contains:
kernel-debug-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-base-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.noarch.rpm kernel-pae-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-pae-base-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-pae-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6.35.1-1.1.noarch.rpm kernel-syms-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-xen-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm
The download will be a little slow. I only have 1/2 meg upstream connection. Just download the rpms to a directory and install with 'rpm -ivh *.rpm' That will *install* the new kernel without wiping out your existing kernel.
You can also add the following as a repository and try the 2.6.36 kernel:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/
Just do (this is one line -- using '\' continuations, just copy and paste into an xterm as root):
zypper ar --keep-packages --refresh \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ \ kernel-head
Then use yast or 'zypper up --repo kernel-head' to grab 2.6.36.
**NOTE: If you use yast or zypper, then to prevent *upgrading* and wiping out your existing kernel, set the following option in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf:
multiversion = kernel-default,kernel-pae
Let us know how it goes...
Finally! As I thought the problem was because of the 2.6.34 kernel version. Don't know why but it doesn't works well on my laptop with 4GB on RAM. (No videoram). I took the 2.6.35 kernel version offered by David enabling the multi-kernel option (zypp.conf). The system starts and recognize the 4GB just perfect! Now I'm worried about the support for this 2.6.35 kernel version as the Kernel HEAD repo offers the 2.6.36 only. What woud be the best choice? An upgrade to the last 2.6.36 kernel (unstable)? or to keep this 2.6.35 unworried about anything? Thanks guys! :) -- Hernán Thiers García Estudiante de Ingeniería en Informática / I.T.
