Installing on PS/1
Hello, I have a PS/1 machine type 2133, model type E26, with 3712kb of RAM. I was trying to install debian compact set (from 1.44 floppies), and got the following error after it tried to load the ramdisk, do_try_to_free_pages failed for swapd do_try_to_free_pages failed for swapper do_try_to_free_pages failed for swapper ... the errors repeat. Is this because I am running out of RAM ? Thanks, Boris -- Boris Krivulin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - If you are not running, you are wrong! -- Canadian military

Is this because I am running out of RAM ? Yes - debian's a bit of a cow there it needs 12 Mb of ram to do its thing, and it needs 8 to get far enough to make some swap space. I had a 4 Mb compaq concerto that did exactly the same until I added another 16 Mb ram. In the meantime I installed smalllinux to see if it'd work. G'luck -- Criggie
