Description Andrew York 2006-11-06 22:55:27 EST

Description of problem:
Boot will hang up when either installing or booting after install if I do not 
specify how much RAM I have.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.18-1.2798.fc5


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to boot kernel w/o mem=4G.  Locks up.
  
Actual results:
Boot hangs

Expected results:
Either the install program should run or you should get to login prompt (after 
install)

Additional info:
Pentium Core Duo 2 (~1.66)
4GB RAM
SATA ACHI mode 300GB x 3
Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6

I must pass "nodmraid mem=4G" to get kerenl to boot cleanly.  This bug is only 
against having to specify RAM size.

Comment 1 Andrew York 2006-11-06 23:03:31 EST

Whoops, bugzilla is acting up and gives error saying invalid project.  Closing 
this as a dup b/c frist submit worked.  (Just have to pay attention to the "it 
worked" screen and the error screen it opens after that)
