justbob Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Scratching my head on this - searched the forums and overclockers with no success. EP45 DS3L, Q9550, 4GB GSkill, 1GB Nvidia 9800 (ZOTAC), dedicated 1TB drive, Working install, up to date as of today 10/14. Runs Win7, Ubuntu 10.4, live CDs, just fine. Installing additional 4GB same memory, to bring the system to 8GB, boot up screen sits with circling indicator for hours. no tweaks to the system. Runs Win7, Ubuntu 10.4 perfectly. Removed the new pair of sticks, back to working fine, boots up properly but seems a little slow on first reboot. Fresh install 10.6, different drive, boots fine, runs fine with 8GB. Boots fine, all apps tested work, system parameters seem fine, all just sweet. I am figuring I have something configured wrong somewhere, but not the bios settings Looking for a suggestion on where to look, what to investigate... thanks bob Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/234433-problem-wont-boot-gigabyte-ep45-ds3l-after-memoey-upgrade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 you have a DSDT? When you add RAM you may need to extract the original DSDT and apply the patches again, or check what changes when you add RAM and apply these changes to the patched DSDT. Redump your DSDT with the extra RAM in, search both old and new DSDT for all instances of "OperationRegion" and compare.

XLR Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Sounds like exactly what happened to me a while ago when i upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 4GB, it's a bummer if you have to rebuild DSDT when upgrading RAM innit... Theoretically, i believe this limitation can be fixed on a bootloader level. If bootloader will detect the RAM while bypassing the memory section in DSDT, and save those settings in some sort of cache or something. MaLd0n what do you think, is there any chance to see this feature in the upcoming version of Chameleon?
