4GiB in Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe causes kernel panic

gzunk · 03-06-2007, 10:27 AM

Does anyone know what options I need in the kernel to get this working? There are two BIOS options that are relevant, SW Memory Remap and HW memory remap. If I choose SW Memory Remap only, then BIOS reports 3GiB out of 4GiB usable and I can use 3GiB and everything works fine. If I choose the HW memory remap then BIOS reports 4GiB out of 4GiB usable, but the kernel panics on boot.

Any ideas?

are you running the regular kernel or the bigmem one? There is a separate kernel that handles 4GB RAM and up. Judging from the symptoms you are seeing, I think this may be worth some investigation.
