Small brainfart earlier; the setting that caused the kernel crash was when using 16MB for the IGP and the working setting is 32MB, not 32 and 64MB respectively as I said originally.
Here's the memory map on 16MB of shared memory that crashes the kernel: Region 0: type 1 at 0x1000 for 635KB Region 1: type 2 at 0x9fc00 for 1KB Region 2: type 2 at 0xe6000 for 104KB Region 3: type 1 at 0x100000 for 2079552KB Region 4: type 3 at 0x7efd0000 for 56KB Region 5: type 4 at 0x7efde000 for 136KB Region 6: type 2 at 0xfec00000 for 4KB Region 7: type 2 at 0xfee00000 for 1024KB Region 8: type 2 at 0xfff80000 for 512KB Low ram: 639KB High ram: 2079552KB Total free memory: 2080187KB And here's for 32MB: Region 0: type 1 at 0x1000 for 635KB Region 1: type 2 at 0x9fc00 for 1KB Region 2: type 2 at 0xe6000 for 104KB Region 3: type 1 at 0x100000 for 2063168KB Region 4: type 3 at 0x7dfd0000 for 56KB Region 5: type 4 at 0x7dfde000 for 136KB Region 6: type 2 at 0xfec00000 for 4KB Region 7: type 2 at 0xfee00000 for 1024KB Region 8: type 2 at 0xfff80000 for 512KB Low ram: 639KB High ram: 2063168KB Total free memory: 2063803KB On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 1:37 AM, Mike Larkin <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 04:36:44PM -0700, Mike Larkin wrote: > > On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 01:28:21AM +0200, stolendata.net wrote: > > > I just managed to get it to boot.
