Hi
Have had a bit of an issue here getting before mentioned kernel to boot without using the
CONFIG_GART_IOMMUWhat appears to happen is that the amd74xx driver eats all
memory. 2.6.8-rc3 plus the patches at the bottom applied from thex86_64patchkit.
Known issue. It's already fixed in x86_64-2.6.8rc3-1, but -mm still uses the older code base.
Workaround is to not turn off this option.
