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

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"?

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.

well, it prints something like this:
Call trace: acpi_video_bus_add acpi_get_handle
acpi_get_handle acpi_bus_driver_init
acpi_bus_register_driver acpi_video_init
init ret_from_fork
init init
kernel_thread_helper
EIP: acpi_video_device_bind
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init!

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.

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?
