[Bug 380840] [NEW] 64bit LiveCD behaves erratically on 6GB RAM machine, works as expected with mem=2048M kernel option

[Pitabred]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-installer

I get various errors with the 64bit LiveCD on my system with 6GB of RAM
installed, including hanging on starting up the bluetooth service on
booting up, errors copying data to the hard drive during install, slow
performance and drive reads, and so on.

The system works perfectly if I add the boot option of "mem=2048M". I
haven't had a chance to test out 4096M, but will do so soon. This seems
like it's a fairly major bug. Should I be using a server kernel with
this much RAM? I can download new LiveCD's and test them, I would prefer
to not reinstall yet again, though.
