Alpha used to have some ridiculously low amount of shared memory configured. So quite a lot of apps used to barf. Namely - cdrecord, mysql server, etc. Check where is yours at the moment and raise it to a more appropriate value by either catting to the appropriate /proc entry or changing the /usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h. Otherwise the shared memory on alpha should be fully functional and I see no reason to disable it. Mine are bumped up to 32 or more on most machines. And If I recall correctly the comments in that file are actually wrong. Value is not bytes, but in machine size word. For alpha *8. As I said - I do not run X on them so all #include "stdisclaimer.h" apply. [snip] -- Anton R.
