The BIOS-e820 shows a severely fragmented memory map (lines 6 through 81). Which BIOS manufacturer, and what is the date? You are booting (U)EFI, right? > This strikes me as either a GRUB problem, or a dracut/initramfs problem, because a 3.9.x kernel and initramfs built on f18 boots OK. So I don't know that this is even really a kernel problem. I'd bet on GRUB. -- -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
