Lets see if I can narrow it down further. The ibook has 160mb, installation is done via modular nfs (ro,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,nolock,proto=tcp,addr=1.1.1.3) I havent seen this on a B&W G3 with 256mb, nor on other ppc32 systems. - 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/
