Hi everybody I was wondering if it is possible to create a shared memory of relatively huge size (say 32MB) in init? I tried once, and the whole system crashed. I don't know the reason . Also, I am not sure where in init I called the module to create the shared memory. Any help would be appreciated. thanks! Charumathi Krishnan.
