Hi all, new to the forums and I've got a serious problem. I'm currently using Hardy Heron 64 with a Radeon 2900XT and 4GB of ram. If I boot into Hardy with 4GB of ram and fglrx enabled, once X tries to start the system crashes hard (unable to ctrl+alt+backspace or ssh to the box etc)
The only workarounds I've found are to either physically remove one stick of ram, or turn off memory remapping in BIOS (both of these effectively do the same thing) or use the mesa drivers which of course is not desirable as I have no 3d capabilities then.
I saw a post in which a member of the forums whose mtrr tables match mine exactly said he was able to fix it by editing his mtrr tables, however, he did not provide the manner in which he did it. http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showt...?t=7507&page=2 is the thread I'm referring to.
I'm currently booted into Hardy with 4GB of ram and mesa drivers. My mtrr table is as follows:
reg00: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 256MB: uncachable, count=1
reg01: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 512MB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=4096MB: write-back, count=1
reg03: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg04: base=0x120000000 (4608MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
Thanks in advance for the help!
