I'm not sure why it failed the first three times I tried it :-/ If the kernel and the command line were the same, they shouldn't have. e820 translates to memblock the same way every boot and the early allocations also do not change from boot to boot. Could it be that three runs that failed had some differences in the kernel parameters? > -- Steve -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
