I didn't. I just picked a value out of the air and tried it. :)

I just now tested with 0x12000000 and it worked, where 0x10000000
consistantly failed.

Debian ships a largely modular multiplatform kernel, so should be on the
small side, and the current value (0x10000000) conflicted.

Not sure how much of a buffer 0x12000000 gives for the kernel to grow,
but that's considerably less than 0x20000000 (at 512MiB), and still
works for me so far...


live well,
