Hi  John

Yes that's the whole messege



well, try something like...

    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
    kernel.shmall = 268435456

at the end of /etc/sysctl.conf, then execute `sysctl -p` and try to start postgres again.

(it really doesn't matter if you set those kernel limits too large, they have no negative impact, they are simply quota, the max allowed. The only reason to restrict them is on a shared system with hostile/malicious users like students who might mess with grabbing excessive memory and causing a denial of service. )
