RE: Allocating Large buffers at Boot-time

Hi again,

Still causes a panic on 2.6.20, however I get:

========================================

bootmem alloc of 4096 bytes failed!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory

========================================

I thought it might be my kernel config, so I tried compiling the kernel
with whatever the kernel defaulted to, but this fails as well. Any
ideas?
