There is a problem I meet from time to time while trying to minimize the size of my kernel; using only the mainboard drivers fail without success. You also have to compile the generic ide drivers into the kernel. On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 5:01 AM, Jan-Christoph Bornschlegel < trollf...@googlemail.co

343 MB of RAM is not enough. Unless you got about 2 GB of swap, expect all kind of errors here and there and a failure at the end. I don't know the exact amount of virtual memory required, but 2.5 GB has been the minimum over here to get the work done. Dominic. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mail
