Re: [gentoo-dev] Need an x86 tester with =1GB RAM (and some time to spare)

Ok...

Linux oneill 2.6.13-gentoo-hugemem #3 Fri Sep 2 11:41:01 PDT 2005 i686 
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


Linux version 2.6.13-gentoo-hugemem ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 
3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, 
pie-8.7.7.1)) #3 Fri Sep 2 11:41:01 PDT 2005


This is with:
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_X86_PAE=y
CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y
CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y
# CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y

System boots just fine.  The only thing I didn't do was use genkernel. 
Guess I'll give that a whirl, see if my results differ.

To see this bug, you need to have _some_ highmem in the system (this 
means = 1GB total physical RAM), be running on x86 (other arches dont 
have HIGHMEM option), and have the 64GB high memory support option 
enabled. (4gb is fine, as is lowmem)


I currently have 1GB of RAM with the 4GB HIMEM on 2.6.12-gentoo-r9.  I 
can play with it.


I've had this bug reproduced by a few different people, but none of them 
with enough time to help me diagnose this. I only have 512mb myself so I 
can't help.


Sounds like it's time to upgrade ;-)

If anyone has the appropriate hardware and some time to spare slowly 
reverting out the Gentoo patches to help diagnose the problem, please 
take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101359


I can definitely do that on one of my days off work (Mondays and 
Tuesdays).  Shouldn't be terribly difficult with the newer, smaller 
patchset.
