Use mtdram. mtdram uses vmalloc() to allocate a chunk of memory. slram just tries to use it, and you have to boot your kernel with a 'mem=' option telling it not to use all the physical memory it finds. I think the default for slram is to use 64Mb at 64Mb - so you'd need to boot with 'mem=64M'. -- dwmw2 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
