Re: Fwd: P5K-VM v BFG NVidia 8800GT OC

OK, here are the results of my testing:

Ubuntu produces the same result as Debian - no graphics mode launched at all, screen a total blank.

Knoppix 5.1.1 forces the screen into an epileptic's nightmare, it flashes like crazy for about a minute or two, then starts up X (nv driver?), and functions normally.

What was the idea behind trying just 2gb again?

Kind regards

Well it is running part of the initramfs scripts (or initrd scripts).  I
wonder what it is loading in there.

Have you tried running with 2GB ram instead of 4?
