I think kernels below 2.4.3 will only run with 128MB RAM or less. (Although I havent successfully booted with more than 96MB) I use 2.4.2 and i need to provide a "mem=" boot string to silo or the system hangs after Booting Linux
I'm not 100% sure - can someone else confirm/refute this? If you have 128MB or less then this is irellevant :) Otherwise - you might want to yank some RAM and retry (leave just 64MB in to be safe). Should have mentioned this earlier, but is was _early_ :) Hope my innane ramblings here help. Jim Clark - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Systems Administrator IBM E-Business Services p.s.
