Hello,

I have a problem running linux on a TI-chip. The board and the linux is quite similar to the
MIPS-Malta-Board / Malta Linux port.
The chip sees physical RAM of 16 MB at 0x14000000. The kernel is loaded at address 0x14020000.
The pagetable created is incredably large (about 7MB).

In free_area_init_core() totalpages and realtotalpages are calculated. In our case totalpages is
approx. 86000 and realtotalpages is 1400. But allocation for the table is done with totalpages, not
with realtotalpages.

How do I reduce the pagetable to its really needed size?


Any hints, ideas or solutions ;-) are welcome
	Carsten
