option memmap

[Reinhold Jordan <r.jordan@asc.de>]

Hello,

is there any documentation for this option better than this in
linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt ?

I have a laptop with a defect memory soldered on the main-board.
128KB of 128MB are defect started at 7936KB

As I read from kernel-parameters.txt the option
memmap=128K$7936K
reserve this area. But this seems to be simply ignored. Even, if I
fade out 64MB, Knoppix still create a RAM disk, which is larger
as the remaining memory...

Does someone know advice?

Thanks, regards, Reinhold
