Re: vesafb and too much RAM?

I guess I shouild have mentioned that this was the first thing I tried. My
kernel is compiled with support for 4GB of memory.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

I was running debian with a 2.4.20(-3 I believe) with vesafb with no
problems with 512MB ram. I upgraded to 1GB and immediately I could not
boot. I get as far as the LILO prompt, but as soon as I hit enter the
screen goes black, the caps lock and scroll lock keyboard LEDs flash, and
nothing save hitting the reset switch has any affect.

You have lots oe memory. Try turning on high memory support. This will
make the problem go away.
