Re: [PATCH] swap=device kernel commandline

Hi1 Did you try to load an initrd on a low-memory machine? It shouldn't work and it probably won't ;) You must be really low on memory ;-) # zcat initrd.gz | wc -c 409600 (ash, pwd, chroot, pivot_root, smount, and still about 82 kB free.) Your solution requires 400K initrd _plus_

[PATCH] swap=device kernel commandline

This patch adds a swap kernel commandline option, so that you can add a swap partition before init starts running on a low-memory machine. The patch is against 2.4.0-test11-pre7 This is my first try at a kernel patch so... I hope someone finds it usefull. --- init/main.c-2.4.0test11-pre7
