Bug#684666: R: Bug#684666: AMI BIOS detected: BIOS may corrupt low RAM, working around it.



Hi, 
`uptime` is:
 14:56:06 up 5 days, 12:39, 

the combination used for the test was:
non-SSD + 4gB 
(the same stuff that was mounted in the notebook when i bought it almost 2 yrs 
ago)

it works *perfectly* ! 
I fell like i'm in a time machine :) it works well, as it worked until ~May 
2012.

No programs crash, no kernel panic etc..

kernel is 3.2.0-3-amd64  on debian wheezy.

the ramdisk i mounted is only 1gB. 

During these 5 days I never opened the pdf file i was reading this summer (a 
400mB pdf file , 10k pages, i used to copy it in the ramdisk before reading it)

the file is an italian linux guide:

http://a2.pluto.it/a2/a2.pdf

could such a big pdf be the one of the causes of kernel crashes?

anyway, i'll try another combination now:

non-SSD + 8gB

(the 8gB RAM has been tested successfully with memtest86+)

if also this new combination works, then the problem must be in the SSD or in 
some driver handling that SSD.

ciao,
Asdrubale
