[yast-devel] little memory (96M)
Hi, I am trying to install RC1 on my old notebook. A change compared to 10.3 is that I get a kernel panic before linuxrc comes up. http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_with_Little_Memory says to use _tmpfs=0 which does help (although http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc says _TmpFS is "No longer supported") But as it says, the system is indeed extremely slow and little memory is left. I am somehow disappointed because I was hoping that the refactored zypp would actually free some memory. Are there any other tricks I could try? -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Well, (without using _tmpfs=0) I was unable to install with less than 128 MB. A kernel panic error as you've already written. L.

This is ncurses, right? So the additional theming does not hurt. I'm _very_ sure libzypp does take way less memory than on 10.3, so either the kernel was more clever or some other thing takes the memory now. Like yast logs? :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
