Hi, After googling and trying, I added *only* mem=4096m to "linux text" and installed successfully. I had also to add mem=4096m in grub.cfg as a kernel paramter. Without doing it the machine kept rebooting whenever starting it. regards, DS On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 5:35 PM, Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 01/06/2014 10:21 AM, Suvayu Ali wrote: >> >> On Mon, Jan 06, 2014 at 04:26:52PM +0200, David Shwatrz wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> It is Lenovo N500.
