Hi,
    I have a box with 1gig ram which i am using as my mysql server. however
when i try to assig about 600megs to the innodb buffer pool it reports that,

    InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate 524304384 bytes of
    InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory
    InnoDB: by InnoDB 21180112 bytes. Operating system errno: 12
    InnoDB: Cannot continue operation!
    InnoDB: Check if you should increase the swap file or
    InnoDB: ulimits of your operating system.
    011204 15:09:49  mysqld ended

my ulimits are set to unlimited and top tells me,
    Mem: 5468K Active, 11M Inact, 18M Wired, 10M Buf, 969M Free

Any ideas why it won't take the memory I assign it?

Rich
