| |
Hello,
I'm running SuSE 6.3, using a kernel 2.2.13 with "CONFIG_2GB" set to "y" on my dual PIII box. Trying to start binaries which allocate more memory than 554 MByte, I get an segmentation fault. For example the strace output of the stream benchmark with parameter n set to 24220000 looks like:
execve("./stream_linux", ["./stream_linux"], [/* 66 vars */]) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
My linux box however has 1 GByte memory installed, which is reported correctly by utilities like top etc...
2:59pm up 5:48, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 64 processes: 62 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 1 stopped CPU states: 0.1% user, 2.2% system, 0.0% nice, 97.5% idle Mem: 1036336K av, 180660K used, 855676K free, 21864K shrd, 20968K buff Swap: 1052216K av, 528K used, 1051688K free 60528K cached
Any regards are welcomed
