Re: Installed 1gb ram and hurd stopped to boot

[Sylvain Dusart <sdusart@alphacsp.com>]

hiya

this is the message I get right at the boot beginning : 

AT386 boot : physical memory from 0x0 to 0x2ffec000
panic : linux_init : alloc_contig_mem failed

then everything is blocked and the system reboots after approx. 20 seconds

hope it helps,

Dus
