Are any of you Amithloners using Kernel4 and more than 1Gb of Ram physically present in system?

I have only had one board that would even boot with 2Gb present, even if Amithlon is restricted to 512Mb to use... I want to dual boot and would prefer to have 4-8Gb of Ram present for other OS.


Yeah I have the same issue as you. I have an old P4 Amithlon system. It takes 4GB on the motherboard but if I even think about putting more than 1GB in it won't boot Amithlon. :(

Anyone remind me if Amithlon needs PS2 KB & Mouse or if I can use USB KB & Mouse?


Both work, but if you're running Poseidon for any other USB devices, it can sometimes conflict. I've found it's safe if you have the stuff to use the PS/2 ports, but you can definitely guy by without if you need to.
