This is surprising.
Have you tried to boot from a live

Hi,
I guess your kernel is configured to support only 1GB of RAM. In the
kernel configuration look for "Processor Type and Features"
There you find the Option. High Memory Support.
Probably it is set to "off". Set it to 4GB then recompile the kernel.
Well, after all kinds of tests and trying different types of memory
configurations, I can only conclude that my kernel boots normally with 1 GB
of RAM installed but hangs when I have 2 GB of RAM installed. I can't find a
logical reason for this to happen.
Any pointers or suggestions are welcome,

Following your replies I've done the following, in an attempt to isolate the
problem:
(memory #1 - "old" memory, memory #2 - new memory)
- Runned memtest on both memories with 0 errors
- Booted with both memories... kernel hang
- Booted with memory #1 on slot #1 successfully
- Booted with memory #
An alternative to running memtest (which is quite easy to do, I might
add) would be to remove the original RAM and see if the computer boots
with the new RAM only.
Alternatively, you could just run memtest, as it is included with many
BIOSs now. It doesn't take long to identify problems, if there

Nothing to do about it...
If he's using amd64 that option doesn't even exist.
And even if he's on x86, if that option is not enabled, it will boot, but
will just not use all the memory phisically available.

Just a thought... Did you enable High Memory support in your kernel?
Processor type and features --->
High Memory Support --->
(X) 4GB

The first thing is to re-insert the RAM very carefully,
then to check that no other connections got dis

Hi all, wise gentoo users!
I've recently bought an extra GB of RAM for my laptop. After inserting it,
kernel refuses to boot, it hangs at "Booting the kernel"
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the RAM, so it must be some other issue,
perhaps related with my boot options?
Any help or ideas are wel
