2009-05-17 07:13:14 VladNistor summary Kernel High Memory Support <64GB> incompatible with intel video UXA Kernel High Memory Support 64GB [PAE] incompatible with intel video UXA
2009-05-17 07:16:25 VladNistor description In Jaunty with Intel GM965 video, trying to add Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf results in a system freeze with a black screen when X starts if you use the -server kernel. (CapsLock doesn't work, the magic SysRq works). Specifically, I was using linux-image-2.6.28-11-server version 2.6.28-11.40. The -generic server works (more or less, this is not the place to complain about other UXA bugs). Why is this important (i.e. why would anyone run the -server kernel on a desktop)? This is why: If a user installs ubuntu-xen-desktop (which is a package for running Xen "on desktops", so a natural thing to install on a desktop), apt pulls in linux-image-server as a dependency. GRUB then decides that the -server kernel is preferred to the regular -generic and boots into it (which is weird, but okay, maybe Xen needs that?). I had to uninstall the -server kernel (and ubuntu-xen-desktop) as a workaround.

The only work-around is to use a -generic kernel which doesn't see anything above 3 GB RAM. This bug is important because as support for EXA will be dropped we will all be using UXA which means everyone who uses -server kernels or has 64GB mem option selected will be unable to do so.
