Hi,
I'm using a slightly modified DBM690T target to boot my Asus M2A-VM (690G/SB600) board.
Booting with 4 GB RAM (2x2) into Linux fails with lots of ACPI errors because the ACPI code for DBM690T hardcodes 1 GB of RAM and has the code paths for >4 GB commented out.
My attempts to fix this have been unsuccessful.
Was the DBM690T ever tested with 4 GB RAM and did it boot into Linux?
No, It was not tested with that much RAM. The main reason is that it uses SoDIMMs and is meant for amobile package which would not need > 4GB. I am suprised to hear that the ACPI code is hard coded to 1GB. It shouldn't be that hard to check TOM and TOM2 to put that information into the tables. What is the exact failure?
