Once I put in another GB module, Gutsy crashes at startup causing an immediate reboot. I think the problem is related to the Nvidia drivers. Neither the opensource nor the binary driver work. I can boot up with 3GB and the vesa driver however. I attached dmesg outputs of a normal boot with 2GB and the binary driver as well as a boot with 3 gb in safe graphics (selected in grub). I am currently using the newest nvidia driver (installed via Envy) but I have the same problem with the default Gutsy nv driver. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions crash. I really hope someone can help me with this, as I'd really prefer to use 3 GB. Thank you in advance! P.S.: Before Ubuntu I used Windows Vista which worked with 3 GB. I removed it, but I just wanted to say there must be some way to use the nvidia chip with 3GB :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206522/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
