Hello Peng,
I found your mail posting via google, because I do have the same problems as you and was looking for a solution:
I have an Asus M3N that is supposed to support 1GB of memory. I bought it with 512MB, and everything worked fine, Then I bought a memory upgrade of another 512MB, and as soon as I plug it in, I get two problems:
- without anything else, i.e., using the full 1GB of memory, the system is unusably slow (takes some 5-10 minutes just to boot). The main problem seems to be the hard disk, things that do not need the disk seem to work OK (I didn't try much - the system really is unusable...)
- I can restrict the memory usage with, e.g., mem=992M. Then immediately the speed is back - but the pcmcia card slot no longer works. Same is true for the sound.
I'm (trying to) post this to the LKML - not sure if it's possible, as I'm not subscribed. But if soeone needs more info I'm willing to test stuff out. Best,
Pit
