#18949 new bug

kernel not loading with more than 4GB of RAM

Description

Hello, I noticed that on my desktop computer (a Ryzen 5 2600 with an Asus B450+ Mainboard, 16GB of RAM, booting with CSM) Haiku (hrev56578+96) won't boot unless I select the ignore memory above 4GB option. It seems like the kernel won't even run, as there is neither onscreen debug output nor a syslog that is being generated. I've tried updating to the newest nightly aswell (at the time (4th July) beta4_hrev57804), but with that, it won't boot at all, regardless of which boot options I select. I will try to update to the newest nightly aswell. The old state is booting, so I don't think it is a problem with the bootloader. I could also try booting it with UEFI, but currently, I've set it up with legacy CSM to be able to boot without having to redo some partition layout from my preexisting partitions. I'll attach the syslog of the successful boot with hrev56578+96.

kind regards, zeldakatze

I'm a bit confused. Is there a version that boots without "4GB memory limit" option enabled? Or does every hrev only boot with that option set?

I think Ryzen systems have always needed this option when booting with BIOS/CSM, see #13370 (which was fixed, but it just uncovered another issue which is also linked in that ticket.)
