OK. But here's the problem. What difference will removing 2GB of Ram make any difference once the machine is back up and running with 4GB of RAM.
The idea here is to _eliminate_ the fact that it could be a memory hole or 4GiB issue. If it _is_ the 4GiB issue, then Tyan has a _lot_ of explaining to do, and a fix to provide. I seriously doubt this is your issue, but I had to suggest it anyways.
would feel better if the PCI bus actually saw the card. I will try doing a few things tomorrow:
- Try moving the 3Ware card from the 133MHz slot to one of the 66MHz
slots and see if linux sees the card. 2) I will possibly try removing 2GB of RAM and see if things magically start working :) 3) I'll poke around in the BIOS some more and reread the kernel parameters list again and see if something obvious appears.
There's a lot of BIOS settings that could be affecting it at the post.
