Just thought I would add my $0.02 because I have a Foxconn X38A board with a C2Q 6600 and 4GB of RAM. I also have a Sapphire ATI 3870 card. When I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04, everything came up fine (and very fast), then I enabled the fglrx driver and when the system came back up, it went to a blank screen and nothing had any effect. I tried rebooting using the Reset button a couple of times and there was one situation where the computer did a spontaneous reboot after the splash screen, but mostly it would just sit there blank. And it was a powered blank, i.e. it was clear that the LCD backlight was on and the power light was green (no powersave).
After reading this article, I went into the BIOS and disabled the memory mapper and when I rebooted, the system came right up. If there are any commands I can issue to collect data to help with this bug, please let me know and I can turn my memory mapper back on, make it crash and provide information, if it would help this whole situation somehow. -- MTRR is not properly setup on Intel Northbridge Chipset (P35, X38, X48) with more than 3GB RAM and with Memory Remapping Enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
