Hi Chrisitian, |

You might want to take a look at the Linux kernel amilling list. One of my |
4 |
friends had issues with his dual Xeon and 4Gigs of RAM. In his case, Windows |
5 |
would claim to see the 4Gigs but would actually crassh when he actually came |
6 |
to use more than 3...sounds fammiliar? |

|

In Linux, he'd get a kernel panic on boot (2.6.x kernels)...after over 6 |
9 |
months of poking at forums and the LKML, his bug was officially received as |
10 |
valid from the kernel gurus and eventually fixed.... |

|

hope this helps a little in your investigation... |
