You may consider using a different split as well. I'm using 2 GB : 2 GB split with 1 GB of RAM with no need for highmem. BTW: Is it really safe to use something like 2.5 GB : 1.5 GB user/kernel scheme? I don't want PAE nor HIGHMEM. -- Krzysztof Halasa, B*FH - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
