Out of memory: fixed by increased HEAP_SIZE Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 16:28:20 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.6.2 Cc: Ingo Molnar MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200410251628.20505.annabellesgarden@yahoo.de> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 699 Lines: 21 Hi, booting newest 2.6.9 experimental kernels, I frequently encountered "Uncompressing Linux... Out of memory --System halted" In some mail archive I found the (obvious ;-) solution: Increase HEAP_SIZE. Here in line 122 of arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c this #define HEAP_SIZE 0x4000 instead of #define HEAP_SIZE 0x3000 made 2.6.9-mm1-RT-U10.3 boot again. 0x3400 or 03800 might also do it, haven't checked.
