Yeah finally they fixed it at samsung : Since Nov. 2009 there is
also a BIOS-Update for my notebook (samsung E152-Aura T5750 Eron) which
fixes the bug. Yes!

There are some BIOS bugs that can be worked around in the kernel. For
example, there are a *ton* of workarounds in the HDA sound drivers to tell the
kernel what pins to initialize because BIOSes often report it wrong.
I'm not sure that this falls into that category, but in case it does, can y
Yes, I did mean Clevo. Sorry. I wish I had the courage (and

The machine in question is made by Cleo (a Taiwanese ODM - at least
mine is), and there is supposedly a BIOS upgrade that fixes the memory
problem. But I haven't picked up the courage to install try it
because it requires a non-Linux OS to install it, and one would have
to do some experimentation
Vista only sees only 3GB of RAM because your Vista is 32bit. It can't
see all 4GB.

Ralf says it works fine if you turn off ACPI and if you only turn off
ACPI's hyperthreading. That would mean it's a bug in ACPI's
hyperthreading. Does that not work for you too, Dasl?
Oh, and no, there's no shared video RAM involved on these systems.

Actually, let's try testing out some other ACPI boot options. On

booting with one of them works (don't use mem=4096 or acpi=off when
testing them).

Of course no power management worked without ACPI. ACPI *is* power

that mem=4096 is just a workaround for it.

1. Do your laptops use shared video memory? If so, how much? (BIOS
should tell you)
2. If you install Intrepid then install all the updates, including the
kernel in -proposed, can it boot without the mem=4096m?

I do not have the laptop any more. It was purchased for my son, who

A wild and crazy idea - I wonder if maybe there is a BIOS bug. Ralf,
are you able to try a boot with 4GB RAM and with a mem= on the boot
line in /boot/grub/menu.lst? And if it still gives the problem with
4GB, try 1MB less than 4GB or something like that.

I have another x86_64 laptop with 4GB RAM that runs 64-bit Intrepid
perfectly.
The problem has something to do with that particular CPU and chipset.
And it has something to do with power / CPU frequency. If you put
acpi=off in the boot line, it doesn't automatically reboot, but it
does hang. On
Yeah, I figure there have to be other 4GB users, so it's got to be a
combination of 4GB and something else. That's why I put "related to".

You can access all 4GB because the server kernel uses PAE. PAE is also
