Cool. That explains a lot. This isn't so much a bug as a misfeature. When I originally put it together I only had to worry about the case of cluster nodes. Having less than 64MB of ram is not a real scenario for me. Anyway I put the top of the ramdisk at 64MB to keep it from being overwritten by 2.2 kernels with 1GB of ram. Since 2.4.10 simply being above 8MB is guaranteed safe. Anyway it looks like the ramdisk feature needs a little work, so it can work on low memory machines, that you embedded guys have. In truth I do think it is a good thing it put in an empty section even when it didn't have a ramdisk as it made this problem stand out clear. Though it probably would have been more obvious if it only did that with a ramdisk.... Eric repeat this 56M of memory is a real case. 56M of memory is a real case. 56M of memory is a real case.... It is a real contrast from the 6GB machines we are shipping tomorrow. It takes 3 minutes for the BIOS memory count to complete... Eric
