Hello Chris,

This is a 'long shot' in the dark, cause I have not read anything about
your problem, but, do make sure you check for any 'pc bios' settings.
Linux is suppose to ignore bios settings and do it's own thing, but,
at least on video ram, I've had to adjust the factory defaults to get
max video ram on some systems. I think there are a few bugs floating
about with how the linux kernel and the default bios interact.


just a wag   (wild ass guess)
