[coLinux-devel] Using CoLinux with more memory

[Jebb Q S. <Jeb...@no...>]

I have been using colinux since earlier this year.  I love the
simplicity of colinux once it is up and running.  I am trying to get
colinux to run with more memory and cannot figure out what I am missing.
 I understand I need to leave some room for the native operating system.
 I have a windows machine with 4 GB of memory and would like colinux to
use 2GB.  I have taken the colinux 0.8.0 source and recompiled the
daemons modifying the line in src/colinux/kernel/monitor.c:

        else if (cmon->memory_size > 1000)      /* 1000 = 1024 - 8*4 */
                cmon->memory_size = 1000;       /* 24MB = 8 Pages a 4K
reserved */

to

        else if (cmon->memory_size > 2024)      /* 2024 = 2048 - 8*4 */
                cmon->memory_size = 2024;       /* 24MB = 8 Pages a 4K
reserved */

I have also modified my conf file for running colinux to include:

mem=2024

When I run the new colinux daemon, the system still starts with only 1GB
of memory.  Are there more files I need to edit or are there other
limitations I need to be aware of?   Let me know if you need more
information or have any questions.  Thanks.
