https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254316 ------- Comment #1 from andrea@novell.com 2007-03-14 13:18 MST ------- The kernel has no control of where the initrd will be loaded, the kernel finds the initrd in one random place when it boots. However the kernel is the one that will know best the end of the normal zone, so relocating the initrd may be good practice for absolute best defragmentation of the physical space at boot. That would workaround the grub bug too. But the grub side is clearly the one to blame and for example the mmap_length of the multiboot_info is only an unsigned long, when the e820 map sizes can be larger than 4G... so perhaps I wonder if the 500m number comes from an overflow inside grub memory probe? (kernel e820 map uses long long for length following the example) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
