CONFIG_HIGHMEM

CONFIG_HIGHMEM

[Magnus Damm]

Hi,

I recently bought more memory to my G4 Cube.
The gentoo kernel ppc-sources-2.4.20-r2 gives
me various oopses when I enable CONFIG_HIGHMEM.

What kernel tree should I try? linuxppc_2_4?

What do people run on their stable machines
with more than 768Mbyte memory?

thanks.

I've been using 1G on an 8500 with the kernel.org version of 2.4.20 for
the last couple of months.

I had lots of issues with CONFIG_HIMEM+CONFIG_SMP with a dual G4-533
with 1.5G of RAM, until I started using 2.4.20-ben(x).

Ok.  I admit it.. I'm the wacko packaging ppc-sources on gentoo.

Could you send send me a ksymoops and maybe try 2.4.20-r3 (it's pretty
much just korg .20-benh5 + ext2/3 ACLs + IPSEC(optional))

P.S. If people have bugs with the gentoo-ppc kernel, please forward them
to me first.

I tried ppc-sources-2.4.20-r3 with CONFIG_HIGHMEM and now
the oopses are gone.

Thanks!
