Hi,
I need to support 2GB of memory on a custom 440SPe board.
I see to support 1GB of memory on the 440SPe yucca board the following
configuration changes were done.
#
# Advanced setup
#
CONFIG_ADVANCED_OPTIONS=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START=0xfe000000
CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE_BOOL=y
CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE=0x40000000
CONFIG_KERNEL_START_BOOL=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_START=0xa0000000
# CONFIG_TASK_SIZE_BOOL is not set
CONFIG_TASK_SIZE=0x80000000
# CONFIG_CONSISTENT_START_BOOL is not set CONFIG_CONSISTENT_START=0xff100000
# CONFIG_CONSISTENT_SIZE_BOOL is not set
CONFIG_CONSISTENT_SIZE=0x00200000 # CONFIG_BOOT_LOAD_BOOL is not set
CONFIG_BOOT_LOAD=0x01000000
It looks like the only thing I would need to do is modify the
following for 2GB support.
CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE=0x80000000
and
CONFIG_KERNEL_START=0x60000000
But this does not work. It almost does, but right after I get to the
Linux prompt, this system panics. If I scale back to one 1GB
everything works great.
Any ideas?
Thank You,
Vincitore

Hi,

I see to support 1GB of memory on the 440SPe yucca board the following
configuration changes were done.
Just leave the configuration for 1 GB, and enable CONFIG_HIGHMEM
That gives you 2 (or more) GB of RAM, with 1G as lowmwm.
Hi Rune,
I tried what you suggested. With no luck.
I enabled CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
Now I panic when when unpacking_rootfs.

This is the same if I have CONFIG_HIGHMEM disabled. The only
difference is highmem now shows up as 0k.
