Assuming that you still have the hardware: How much memory does your system have? If it's more than 2 Gigabyte, try booting with the "mem=2G" kernel parameter.

A further piece of info. This bug only happens on 64 bit systems. If I install the 32 bit (x86) version of Debian I get no problem. Will try changing kernel now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
