Just bought some fancy 12GB RAM for my G5 (late 2005, DC 2.3GHz), to bring the total to 16GB. But, if I max it out, the boot hangs after: KDB: current backend: ddb Sits there, then the fans start spinning up. Removing the outer two sticks makes it boot completely, but then I only have 12GB. I know all sticks work, and that the outer two slots work, from testing for a bad stick earlier. Any known issues with that much memory? Has anyone tried it on ppc? Methinks there's something involved with the pmap code, but I know nothing about that code. - Justin
