Re: Atari 4 MiB kernel limit

Thorsten, I am not aware of a strict 4MB kernel limit - the kernel needs to fit into ST-RAM entirely. ST-RAM may be as large as 14 MB. There is one, but that seems to be related to, at least, page table setup in early kernel space (but my attempts at patching that didn't work either, so

Re: Atari 4 MiB kernel limit

Funny enough I currently got problems with load the kernel on Arrakis, an A3000, although I already reduced the memory from 128M down to 64M with no success. It ran wirh the same setup for months now, until I shut it down for cleaning today. -- Ingo Jürgensmann http://blog.windfluechter.net

Atari 4 MiB kernel limit

Hi *, does the limit apply to just the kernel image (plus some margin) or is the initrd also subject to that restriction? This is important and medium-urgent. 10x, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually. This is a fact of life. » “mysql is about as much database as ms acc
