hi james

[ please always use reply-to-all. i'm not subscribed to the list ]

you have a notebook with graphic controller working in shared memory mode
which means it uses the main memory. unfortunatley the is BIOS crap and
forgets to report that. add the following to the kernel command line to
fix the problem:
	reserve=0x1e000000,0x2000000
it tells the kernel not to use the region from 480-512 MB.
