This error is caused by a toolchain error and the HIGHMEM option. If you disable this option, it will compile fine. I haven't heard of a good workaround if HIGHMEM is required. |

Thanks for the hint, I will try.
However, I have 2Gb of RAM and do not want my kernel to recognize only part of it. Would this not be the purpose of the HIGHMEM option ? |

I have 1Gb of RAM and he recognizes 768Mb. I have HighMem disabled in my kernel because of the known reason. I would also know, if there is a solution. |

yes, i think there is
Download this patch wich should aplly cleanly on top of 2.6.11. A new option "1Gb Low Memory Support" will appear in your kernel conf

My understanding was that "HighMem" support wasn't needed on 32bit machines unless there was more than 4GB of ram installed. _________________ Against stupidity the very gods

Isn't this patch i386, or at least x86, specific. The only changes are in the asm-i386 section. This shouldn't be included on a PPC machine. _________________ Against stupidity the very gods

When I got the laptop one year ago, I had to set this option on to get all my memory supported in the first place... I do not see how to live with less than 1gig now
The sleep mode is not worth more than 1 gig less for me...
Bye bye kernel 2.6.11. Waiting the 2.6.12 or 2.6.13 here |
