I have recompiled the kernel (APUS 2.2.10) with #define SHMMAX 0x2000000, but now the system hangs when I try to write an image in xcdroast. Are there other parameters to adjust, too? Or is this an APUS specific problem? -- Frank Petzold, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, CH-8803 Rüschlikon/Switzerland, Tel. +41-1-724-84-42 Fax. +41-1-724-89-56 Business email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The opinions expressed here are mine and not necessarily those of IBM.
