There drive strength of loongson2F is not good enough to support big memory in high freequency. That is limited by the chip. So even tune the DDR2 controller setting, perhaps it can not run stable with 2G/4G memories. 2011/4/26 Roman Mamedov > On Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:10:07 +0600 > Roman Mamedov

I test 4 2GB ddr2 memory sticks with diffrent brands(sumsung, Adata, MT, SCS) right now,they all work fine on my Fuloong6003 with pmon version 1.3.6 and kernel version 2.6.27.1 。 But the 2.6.38.4 kernel not work, I will give the root cause and try to fix that later。 于 2011年04月25日 11:23, wu zhangj
