bwh mentioned transcendent memory in http://womble.decadent.org.uk/talks/debconf13-kernel-news/ But I think with total memory sizes at the magnitude that real m68k machines have, we’re probably better off using them for main memory as much as possible. (Compressed swap comes to mind, but even so, main memory is likely to be under pressure; this might help with machines with _very_ slow disc, or root on nfs/nbd with slow NIC, though.) >> Remember that there were problems with loading 3.2.0-4-amiga without the >> memfile. > >Yes, going out of memory when allocating the page table arrays?

Right, that’s another reason I made the 3.10 kernel much more modular and the best one to swallow the bitter pill of having to construct an initrd. You can always build your own custom kernel, of course, but I think that Debian buildds should, as much as possible, use the proper Debian kernels of course ;-) bye, //mirabilos -- <gcc> ncal.c: In function 'parsemonth': warning: comparison between pointer and integer • <mirabilos> ↑ hab da „in function parselmouth“ gelesen <Natureshadow> ICH AUCH! • <Natureshadow> Ich hab gerade gedacht "Häh?
