My system (debian/sid with linux 2.6.16-2-k7) does not even boot with mem=8M. I get loads of "Out of Memory" errors on startup when booting into single-user-mode. I'm sorry, but this is not really "Severity: important". It seems like mem=24M was the smalltest that booted for me and apt is pretty usable then. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.
