(2.4.0)] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Using the 2.4.0 kernel and a kernel compiled with support for 4GB of memory, mounting of the initial ramdisk fails when 1GB or more of memory is installe dint he system. There is no OOPS, it simply says, unable to mount root vfs, I ma thinking the INITRD system cant handle the offset's involved in a big mem machine, I have not worked with the vfs or init code before, otherwise I would attempt to fix it myself. I would appreicate any help I can get with this problem, this is the second time I have reported it and I am responsible for getting it to work ;) -Adam - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
