I've just installed a fc5 machine. He needs this rev because it is compatible with his bruker software. Anyway, he already had 1 gig of memory in the machine, but when we put another bank of memory (1 gig) we could not boot up. We did a switch and they (both 1 gig dimms) and they both work apart, but not together. Has anyone ran into this problem? I guess I could look on fedoraproject.org to see if fc5 supports 2 gigs of ram. Anyway, any suggestions/advice/opinions are appreciated. Thank you in advance.
If it is an older machine check the BIOS. It may not support the added ram, or there may be some hardware switch or jumper required.
I vaguely recall this happening with some machine and some FC version, and that specifying mem=2GB made it work. YMMV
