The same happens on slightly different motherboard (Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R), with the same processor (Q6600) and 8GB RAM. When running on 4GB it works fine. With 8GB it's terribly slow.
Similar behaviour can be observed when trying to run the Knoppix Live CD (32-bit, 4.0). With 8GB it doesn't boot correctly, stopping with "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you into a very limited shell. Press reset button to quit". Will try with the mem parameter. -- kernel performance is *very* slow with 8GB RAM on AMD64. 6GB is fine. kernel 2.6.22-8 x86_64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
