F20 installation of Lenovo laptop crashes and kernel paramters

[David Shwatrz]

Hi,
After googling and trying, I added *only* mem=4096m to
"linux text"
and installed successfully.

I had also to add mem=4096m in grub.cfg as a kernel paramter. Without
doing it the machine kept rebooting whenever starting it.


regards,
DS
