Whoo hoo. Before I pop these in, soliciting any thoughts about the following: zcat /proc/config.gz |grep MEM CONFIG_SHMEM=y # CONFIG_TINY_SHMEM is not set # CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y # CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set CONFIG_FLATMEM=y CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_FF_MEMLESS is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is not set CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=y Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hda1 Boot Primary Linux ext2 256.50 hda2 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1024.46 hda3 Primary Linux ext3 21480.44 hda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS 28771.84 hda6 Logical Linux ReiserFS 28493.15 IOW, do I need to/should I recompile my kernel or change partition sizes? Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers, -- |\ /| | | ~ ~ | \/ | |---| `|` ? | |ichael | |iggins \^ / michael.higgins[at]evolone[dot]org -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
