Re: why linux can't see my memory

It might be that the chipset isn't supported in woody because the kernel is too old, and not in wheezy because the kernel is to new. What if you try to boot a Sarge install? http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/i386/iso-cd/ Atle. Den 05. jan. 2014 13:24, skrev Long Wind: B
