Hi list, I am trying to run 32 bit RFS with a 64 bit kernel on a RM9000 based processor board. The board is equipped with 2 GB DIMM. When ever I initiate ftp transfer of 1 GB file I am getting following unaligned access error ftp> get 1gfile local: 1gfile remote: 1gfile 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 1gfile (1024000000 bytes).

If I limit memory size to 512MB from command line, ftp transfer of bigger files works as expected. Kindly help me with your pointers to debug the issue. I am running 2.6.18 kernel. Thanks Anoop
