I would like to reserve a piece of High RAM memory for DMA. The Linux 2.4 Drivers book show to appand MEM=reserve_size to the lilo.conf file. Would someone please let me know where this file is in the kernel tree? I couldn't seem to locate it. Thanks, --Khai ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

... and more importantly lilo is only one of many boot methods which is ia32 (afaik) only. Argument passing is per-arch. On PPC32, you can set CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y and then set a cmdline to use. If you're using PPCBoot on your board, there's another way to do it, without recompiling the kernel. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
