Re: [tomsrtbt] System freeze at boot

[Oliver Martin]

Tom suggested using "bz2bzImage mem=16M" at the lilo prompt. Thanks for
the tip, but it didn't make any difference. Anyways, I found out about 
PAUD and it seems to be perfectly suited for what I want to do, so from 
the practical point of view, a solution isn't required any more. Yet 
from the technical aspect, I'm still interested in the topic. Which part 
of the system actually does the bzip2 decompression? Is it some part of 
the lilo boot code? If yes, does the stock lilo do that or is it somehow 
patched? On which factors does it depend that can make it fail? I 
haven't extensively tested the RAM yet, I'll do that tomorrow. But I 
haven't experienced strange behavior other than that, so I doubt it's 
bad RAM.
