Don't give up Jeremy!  I'm sure we can figure it out :-)   Cheers,   Bernard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jeremy Enos Sent: Wed 04/01/2006 15:06 To: Jeremy Enos Cc: sisuite-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Sisuite-devel] tmpfs problem? Ignore that... tmpfs is filling up, but not with the image.  I'm giving up on this I think. Jeremy Enos wrote: Not sure why, but even when I use the TMPFS_STAGING=no option on the kernel append line when I network boot, it looks like I'm getting the image dumped into tmpfs.  Why might this be?     Jeremy Jeremy Enos wrote: Also, just read up on tmpfs and saw that it tries to spool the entire 6GB image into that 2GB... no surprise at that failure now that I understand how it works. However... when not using tmpfs to spool (as in the first failure), why would I get an error that tmpfs is full?     Jeremy Bernard Li wrote: Just FYI this is probably off stable branch 3.6.x.
