The error means 4Gb is too much to handle on Linux, try

boot cdrom s install mem=512M

installing 2.2r3 on a E420R & memory issues

When trying to do a 'boot cdrom s install' on a 420R w/ 4x450 & 4GB RAM,
it's giving me a memory mapping error, suggesting i use the option
'mem=xxxM'.  Problem is I can't figure out how to use it.  I've tried:

boot cdrom s mem=4096M install
boot cdrom s install mem=4096M

and I still get the memory mapping error.  Does anyone know the proper
syntax/format?  Thanks.

This sounds an awful lot like the problems I am having with tulip on my
g4, so it may not be an X1 issue. I had to back down to a version from
around 2.4.[34]. Maybe you could try copying the tulip directory from
that kernel version to 2.4.7, apply your patch and see how that works?

I strongly suggest following vger CVS until the issues are worked out.
The romvec fix is in there, and the other fixes will show there before
anywhere else.

You'll know it's fixed once I upload 2.4.x sparc32 kernels to Debian :)

first answer: just a slight oversight. Remove the romvec declaration
from arch/sparc/mm/fault.c.

second answer: 2.4.7 compiles, but is not really stable yet, but Anton
is working on it.

Put 
 net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0
in /etc/sysctl.conf

See also sysctl.conf(5) and sysctl(8)

It seems that I get this problem too (on an intel box running
linux-2.4.6).

It would be nice if one can disable ECN by an option file, such as
the file /etc/network/options

Can this be implemented ? I don't really know how the networking script
is written and am not good at scripting

Yes, ECN is 2.4 only. See http://gtf.org/garzik/ecn/ .
