Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

Hi,

Recently I replaced my 256MB memory with 1GB, resulting in 1,256MB of memory in my Toshiba Satelite notebook (previously there were 2x 256MB).
Since that, stock archlinux kernel boots and works just fine, however beyond and suspend2 kernels refuse to boot. They stop during boot with some kernel error thingie... Best I could figure so far is that there are some ACPI errors which did not appear before memory upgrade.
Is it known problem? Did I miss something terribly important?;-)

cheers

Re: Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

This is very strange, as kernel26suspend2 is almost identical to kernel26. Beyond has some changes, but it should also boot fine. Can you be more precise about the "kernel error thingie"?

Re: Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

if you dont want to write down the error, get a *clear* photo with a digital camera.

As much of the error as possible, and as much context before it too.

Re: Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

well, it prints something like this:

                acpi_get_handle        acpi_bus_driver_init
                acpi_bus_register_driver  acpi_video_init

Re: Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

Recent news, I tried to add acpi=off to kernel parameters and beyond kernel booted successfully.
So it seems there is something weird between acpi/acpi_video/ammount of memory happening.

Re: Memory upgrade -> beyond, suspend2 kernel failure

Yet another update,
the latest version of suspend2 kernel boots and runs without freezing during boot. However dmesg shows lot of ACPI errors with unable to allocate memory error. Which is ready strange given amount of it available.

Stock kernel runs without such ACPI errors. So question is, how much of added stuff is in suspend2 compared to stock kernel?
