i have the same issue, but with 2.6.24-rc6 on a box with 512MB RAM System is openSUSE 10.3
on "make modules_install" , depmod reproduceably dies with out of memory error when it is ~800MB VSZ and ~350MB RSS this happens on different hardware. any clue what`s going wrong? how much memory should i expect being needed with "make modules_install" , e.g. with allmodconfig ?

I compiled kernel 2.6.24-rc1 (latest git as of today) on a Box with 256MB Ram. During "make modules_install" I got these errors: DEPMOD 2.6.24-rc1-default WARNING: Can't read module /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc1-default/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko: Cannot allocate memory WARNING: Can't read module /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc1-default/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_redirect.ko: Cannot allocate memory [...] FATAL: Memory allocation failure depmod.c line 158: realloc(mod->deps, sizeof(mod->deps[0])*(mod->num_deps+1)). make: *** [_modinst_post] Fehler 1 Depmod used too much memory and exits. Tried a 2nd time and checked with top. IMHO this is a regression. best regards jan-simon __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsstärkeren E-Mail-Postfach!
