1024 mb ram dont work

(1/2) > >>

drn:
recently i bought 2 512mb ram chips and placed them both into my computer (asus p4b533, 2g, mandrake 9.1 and windows xp) it worked fine with xp but when i went into mandrake it would'nt boot upto kde, it just gos to a command prompt screen (i dont know what its called in linux, cmd prpt). But when i removed one of the chips it worked fine.
Any suggestions on what the problem is?

flap:
You may need to recompile the kernel to support that much ram.

badkarma:
Never had this problem, never tried Mandrake though (at least, not on this pc) but 1024Mb RAM was never a problem with SuSE (7.x/8.x).

flap:
I think by default the mandrake kernel doesn't support it.

slave:
Mandrake is a turd OS (IMHO)
