From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andreas Schwab Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2001 10:15:55 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] Booting problem with big memory Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org The kernel is unable to boot a Lion with 44GB unless I pass "mem=3D44G" to the kernel. The last kernel messages include (this is from memory, it panics even before the serial console is up): warning: skipping physical page 0xbfff6000 Initial ramdisk at: 0xffffffffffffffff (18446744073709551615 bytes) ..... bootmem alloc of 50 bytes failed! Kernel Panic: Out of memory This is with 2.4.7 and 2.4.9. Note that I booted without an initrd. Looks like something is being overwritten.
