A fix of sorts for PowerBooks with lower RAM slot issues
Authored by: logged on Mon, Mar 10 2008 at 10:15AM PDT
hi all, another trick worked for me to make the lower ram recognized by my pb either if sometimes at reboot you've to follow once again this procedure:
simply invert the sodimm ram! (put the lower on the upper etc.).
By the way this demonstrate that the ram slot and the sodimm ram aren't totally fried. The problem is that when the system allocates more memory into an application -i assume more than a half of the total ram, the system collapses into a kernel panic. And i believe that same will happen either using the hint described above. Since now, by myself, i've changed the hard disk, used techtool pro, diskwarrior, i've dis-allowed nap using a developer application, with no results.. I hope to ear news from you, as apple rests in peace...
