I installed mysql with innodb support on a machine with 2G of RAM.

The manual recommends that one should set innodb_buffer_pool_size in my.cnf to up to 
80% of the physical memory available.

However, if I set a value above 50M!!! I get this error:

Innobase: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory!
Innobase: Cannot continue operation!
Innobase: Check if you can increase the swap file of your
Innobase: operating system.
010906 15:31:27  mysqld ended

Anyone as any clue about this?
