I think either there are sub revisions not "labeled" as such, or that other parts also play a role. > did you actually try all the tricks I described previously? > Specifically I noticed that the mem= command line parameter and loading > psb.ko late enough in the boot sequence help a lot. I guess so. I've tried several mem= params and I've also tried the mandrake 2010 cd as well as jolicloud, which both work for other poulsbo users. > Oh wait, you have rev 07... not sure what the difference is.
