Hey, I'm trying to put 1GB of ram in an Apple G4 box here, but I'm having trouble. Anything higher (well, in increments of 256M) is dumping me into xmon early on boot (before the fbcons is initialized). Any thoughts? I'm unable to use xmon because of the USB keyboard...unfortunately. Too bad Apple didn't put a real serial port on these machines :(use mem= as argument, the highest mem I got was mem=703M.So is it not (at this time) possible to use 1GB of memory on ppc? hmm.
Not yet ... 768 Meg is in theory the maximum. Hopefully in about 2 weeks this is going to get fixed. Regards, Tom Tom Gall - PowerPC Linux Team "Where's the ka-boom?
