Re: AMD64-generic doesn't see all 4GB RAM?

Maybe there is nowhere to map the card's buffers into the bottom 4Gb of
RAM when you have 4Gb of real RAM available. (This would seem to be a
problem with all PCI cards plus AGP cards etc but maybe most systems
or cards have a workaround?)

Google has hits for this error from this driver eg
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/23/5

And there's a kernel patch in the thread which may be in recent kernels;
boot with "iommu=soft swiotlb=force" to try the workaround.

Thanks, tried, same as before (no go).

Bye
