[Bug 156141] Re: Kernel crashes in unionfs while booting because minimum RAM requirement not met

2009-04-17 Thread Jim Lieb
this crash is caused by memory exhaustion and there is (rarely) a graceful way out for such an event. The spec calls for a minimum of 256MB for that reason. Given that the live cd and its use of unionfs is a special case version of the O/S, this will not be fixed. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Not sure why but this CD won't even boot on that laptop. I'll try a later version or another disc when I have time. This is a very minor bug though, if only the team was on the case for bug 236389 which remains unseen despite being completely destabilizing to any (common use) situation where x

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if

Thank you for the update. If either of you are able to resolve your RAM issue, care to report back if this bug still exists? For the time being I'm retargeting your request for RAM size checking in the boot cd towards the upcoming Hardy kernel. The 'hardy-kernel-candidate' tag I've added will al

I'm sorry! In deed only 128 MB of memory were installed. The memory upgrade i had installed somehow broke, because Windows is also telling me that there are only 128 MB installed. How about programming a feature checker into the boot cd to check if the right amount of RAM is installed? -- Kernel

I have observed a nearly identical error while booting from the 7.10 install CD. (Googling lead me to this thread.) See attachment. But I found out that my laptop only had 128MB memory, while the requirement is 256MB. So on my laptop this symptom is a feature, not a bug. (I have not tried anythi

Thanks Hogliux. Just a few more questions: 1) Were you seeing any issues when using a 7.04 Fiesty LiveCD? 2) I'm curious if you are able to capture any more information that may be output before and after the crash? For example when you first see the boot progress bar can you press Control+A
