I thought I better let you know that I added the mem=xxM to the end of the line. At first I made it 50M and it ran a lot better but still not good. So then I made it 32M and now Ubuntu will not boot. It gets as far as the STARTING UP .......screen and just parks there.
Thanks for your help I thought we had it there for a minute or two. ----- Original Message ----- From: "trollord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2008 8:01 AM Subject: [Bug 221994] Re: 8.04 LTS runs slowly [ 0.000000] 0MB HIGHMEM available. [ 0.000000] 510MB LOWMEM available. As far as I can see the kernel sees only part of your memory. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, go for line that looks like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=29431061-d88b-456a-980e-76c187a1ef70 ro quiet splash and add an extra parameter mem=xxM where the xx is the amount of your system memory in megabytes, the space reserved for integrated display adapter reducted. That should do the trick, just do not put too high number there. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => linux Status: New => Incomplete -- 8.04 LTS runs slowly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221994 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Source Package "linux" in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installed 8.04LTS yesterday, was running 7.10. 8.04 is running slowly. So slowly that its really not usable. Is there any thing that I can do about this? 7.10 ran fine with the exception of an occasional freeze. I'm hoping to be able to use this newer version because of what I read it was going to be like.
