I'm trying to learn enough about the relevant software and hardware to rectify this situation. The work-around, suggested by Marcus Camen, of disabling memory remapping in the BIOS works, and I can boot and run the 10.2 final kernel, but it comes at the cost of losing 1 GB of my installed RAM. Naturally, I need to rectify this.
This is all unfamiliar to me. Where might I learn what I'll need to know to regain the full use of my hardware?
i don't know that hardware in particular, but assuming that is an x86_64 arch, some searching in the amd64 list for the past few years will reveal that this is a BIOS problem, and the only way to get use of your memory (has to do IIRC with PCI memory remapping and a hole used for allocation for PCI cards) back is a corrected BIOS. So, make sure you have the latest BIOS update. Otherwise, you might complain to ASUS, but don't hold your breath there. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
