Ah, that's why people get hit by it if they have less than 4GB. ;-) > For FC6, it'll only install one if you have >4GB. > (or possibly if you have an NX capable CPU, I forget if we enabled that > magick in the installer) > > Precluding NX support + swsusp kinda sucks, but I guess it's a tiny subset of users. Well, I think the majority of NX-capable CPUs are also x86_64, in which case I'd recommend using a 64-bit kernel anyway. Thanks for the clarification. I was afraid the issue would be urgent, but it doesn't seem so now. I'd like to postpone fixing it until we can create suspend images larger that 350 meg on i386 boxes with highmem (the patch is ready to go to -mm after 2.6.19-rc1 as 2.6.20 material).
