Hi,

I've recently upgraded my UML setup from a 2.6.8+skas3 host kernel to a 
2.6.18+skas on debian etch. I've also upgraded to using the nagafix 
kernel32-2.6.24.3 kernel to run my guest instances in.

I uses to be able to specify mem=3072M to the guest instance, but when I 
try this now I see :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/umltest$ /usr/bin/kernel32-2.6.24.3 udb0=./root_fs mem=3072M
Core dump limits :
        soft - 0
        hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...OK
Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...OK
Checking for tmpfs mount on /dev/shm...OK
Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /dev/shm/...OK
Checking for the skas3 patch in the host:
   - /proc/mm...found
   - PTRACE_FAULTINFO...found
   - PTRACE_LDT...found
UML running in SKAS3 mode
CONFIG_HIGHMEM not enabled - physical memory shrunk to 3045064704 bytes
Segmentation fault

If I boot with something like mem=2800M it boots ok.  I have a tmpfs 
partion defined on the host :

tmpfs                 4.0G  1.3G  2.8G  31% /dev/shm

(which is empty when no guest is running).

I have the following set in my host kernel :

CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_PROC_MM=y

Anybody have any ideas what might be setting this limit, as I'd expect 
to be able to specify up to mem=4096M

Thanks,

Rob
