Hi Ethan, 

Does the text installer need to be updated as well? The relevant code is under: 
usr/src/cmd/text-install/osol_install/text_install/ti_install_utils.py

Subject: [caiman-discuss] code review for 6978639 


Can I get a couple of reviewers for this. 

6978639 Default net AI install on x86 with 1GB or less memory no longer works 
when installing from /dev repo 

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~equach/webrev.6978639/ 


This fix effectively increases the amount of swap zvol that 
gets created for systems with physical memory between 
786MB =< mem < 1.5G. The code basically enforces that 
systems in this range have a total of 2G virtual memory. 

Systems with 512MB RAM are unchanged. They continue to 
get configured with a UFS slice for swap. 

Systems with 1.5G RAM or larger are unchanged. They 
currently get (1/2 * mem) added as swap, which already 
puts them above the 2G mark. 


The following is a table of the swap that will get created when 
installing on a 16G disk. The lines in red highlight what changed. 
These changes apply to both LiveCD and AI (Sparc and X86). 
(The non traditional mem sizes were not tested on Sparc.) 


Phys Mem Prev swap New swap 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
512MB 1G ufs 1G ufs 
786MB 512MB zvol 1.26G zvol 
1024MB 512MB zvol 1G zvol 
1280MB 680MB zvol 721MB zvol 
1536MB 767MB zvol 767MB zvol 
1792MB 895MB zvol 895MB zvol 
2048MB 1G zvol 1G zvol 


thanks,
