[User-mode-linux-devel] Current status

[Jeff D. <jd...@ka...>]

I've traced the various booting problems with the defaults to running short of 
memory.  By default, the kernel configures itself with 8 meg.  Something 
happened around 2.3.30 which caused it to run short of memory sooner or behave 
differently when it ran short.  I didn't notice because I was running with 64 
meg getting the kernel to behave when running apache.

So, as a workaround with the existing kernel, you can specify a larger memory 
with "mem=" on the command line.  I booted it with "mem=16M".  The memory size 
can go to slightly less than 768 meg.  I've only tested it up to 256 meg, 
though.
