Description of problem: I have a x2 machine (4400+), asus m2v motherboard with 6 gb of ram, I am using fedora 8 x86-64, the kernel only boots fine with mem=4G parameter any value lower than 4GB works. I have tested with all 64 bits kernels (from fc6 to fc9) including pxe images and only works with mem=4G or less Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.23.14-135.fc8
I have see some messages on screen about vmalloc.c:105 vmap_pte_range

a) yes, only boot with mem=4G, with mem=5G or 6G or without mem kernel crash b) with mem=4G or less boot and works fast, with 5 or 6G doesn't boot.

I have removed 2 gigs of memory from this machine and now is working fine. I don't have a serial cable to get the complete crash message. you can close this ticket.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
