| |
Hi, I'm having troubles when using the vmalloc kernel parameter.
My grub config looks as shown below. If I set vmalloc to anything bigger than 128M (the default) then the kernel will not boot and it will log the following on the console:
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
If I specify 128M or less then the kernel will boot just fine and /proc/meminfo will show the effect in VmallocTotal.
Any hint on what I'm crashing with?
thanks, Rodrigo
ps: my kernel version is 2.6.15.2, and my machine is a dual opteron with 2GB of ram
