RAM > 1GB
Hello ACPI gurus. :)
I have a Dell X300 here using a custom DSDT table appropriate with the BIOS version. The trouble is, the system has an "unusual" amount of RAM--so much so that it breaks ACPI and prevents a few things from working. 128Mb of RAM is built into the motherboard and an additional 1Gb has been added.
When the system is booted WITH the additional RAM, I get a number of errors. The dmesg file is here:
http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/research/ACPI/dmesg-bad
When the system is booted WITHOUT the additional RAM, everything works as intended.
http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/research/ACPI/dmesg-good
I've also provided the DSDT table that I'm using, which can be found in the same directory as the dmesg files.
I would appreciate any help on fixing this issue if anyone is available. At any rate, keep up the good work! You guys make a lot of what we do here possible!

So you will need to boot without DSDT-override with the additional RAM. Now extract the DSDT and apply your patches to it. The DSDT is not a static thing - it is build on the fly, and takes the plugged in amount of RAM into account (if you do not override it).
Hope that helps

Did you generate the DSDT with 128MB installed? If so, you'll need to boot without your custom DSDT and with the extra memory, dump the system DSDT, modify it as necessary and then use that as your custom DSDT. The DSDT contains the amount of RAM you have installed, and needs to be modified if you change your configuration.
