F11 fails to start X11 on AspireOne AOA150 w/ ugpraded 1.5GB

[docdrow]

All,

I have an AspireOne AOA-150 which I've upgraded to 1.5 GB of system memory. (Normally, it's 1.0GB). My system was working happily with F11 / X11 prior to the upgrade, but now I can't get X to boot. I also changed my hard drive, so I've re-installed F11 from scratch, but, my configurations are the same, and I had the current kernel (2.6.30.8-64) working fine.

System boots fine, kernel mode setting seems to be fine, text console is fine.. but when I attempt to start X, upstart tries like 5 times then gives up.

In /var/log/Xorg.log, the last line is:

(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.

Then it goes into a Backtrace.

Which appears to die in libdrm_intel.so.1 inside function drm_intel_bo_alloc

Server dies with signal 11.

Help a brother out?

System is an Acer Aspire One AOA-150. I've replaced the factory installed 512mb DIMM with a 1gb DIMM. Dual booting Windows/F11, everything in Windows works as expected.

Something broke in drm_intel_bo_alloc() ?

Or.. what's up with all the weird and wrong VideoRam messages ?

VideoRam 4194303 KB ?!

Have a AOA-150 here that has 1.5GB mem also but currently have F12 rawhide on the hdd and running. I also have several F11 live-usb sticks that boot and work well on the AAO-150.

It may be that the update killed x and can you boot to a previous kernel? My Xorg.log lists "VideoRam: 4194303 KB" also.

[docdrow]

Happens on 2.6.29 as well. Do you have the same xorg-x11-drv-intel version as I?

Here's mine while running F11 from liveusb on the AAO.

[liveuser@localhost ~]$ rpm -qav | grep xorg-x11-drv-intel
