[Bug 206522] Re: Hardy - Samsung X11 won't boot with 3GB ram
Lemmy, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>
Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
Hardy - Samsung X11 won't boot with 3GB ram
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
With 2 GB of RAM in the notebook, Gutsy works fine. Once I put in
another GB module, Gutsy crashes at startup causing an immediate
reboot.
I think the problem is related to the Nvidia drivers. Neither the
opensource nor the binary driver work. I can boot up with 3GB and the
vesa driver however.
I attached dmesg outputs of a normal boot with 2GB and the binary
driver as well as a boot with 3 gb in safe graphics (selected in
grub).
I am currently using the newest nvidia driver (installed via Envy) but
I have the same problem with the default Gutsy nv driver. Both 32 bit
and 64 bit versions crash.
I really hope someone can help me with this, as I'd really prefer to
use 3 GB.
Thank you in advance!
P.S.: Before Ubuntu I used Windows Vista which worked with 3 GB. I removed it, but I just wanted to say there must be some way to use the nvidia chip with 3GB :)
