Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123 Severity: normal Hi,
I am booting an amd64 host with PXE method, once i get to the first screen i press 'Install'...... Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel. Aperture beyond 4G. Ignoring Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup This costs you 64MB of RAM PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0 <halt> I had etch installed succesfully and BIOS was ok. When updating linux-image from 2.6.18 to 2.6.26, .26 never booted on my system. I guess the failure was related to this issue. I have tried newer kernel versions, .28 and .29, compiled at home and linux-image from unstable and it works fine. Tracking this issue I got to the idea that having >4GB (my system has 8GB) does not leave space to allocate AGP devices. If you need more info, testing or whatever, feel free to ask me for it.
