Comment 11 for bug 316079

Hi Hugo, I try last night your quirks on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 32-bit (kernel 2.6.28.9) recompiled on-the-fly ,
I loading /boot/config-2.6.28-11-generic with "gconfig", set Core2 processor type and preemtible kernel, I copyed quirks at the end of arch/x86/pci/fixup.c, make kernel pakages, install it, works!! WOW :D :D
X server boot up! yeah!

But I have little question, why gnome-system-monitor report only 3 gb ? I more try "sun Virtualbox" and this report 3584 mb of usable ram, (I'ts very strange for my little know) of course I set up virtual memory for my winxp-vm installation and it's rocket speed :)
