Definitely out of virtual memory. Without swap, your way ends here ;)

I am booting on a machine with 8 Meg of virtual memory. Does booting 
single-user hurd actually require that much memory? Why? I mean isn't that a 
little on the high side? Actually I'm trying to boot hurd to enable swap - I 
guess I'll have to take the hard disk out again and put it in my computer to 
enable swap from there - I was hopping to avoid that ;).

Thanks for your help,
Jonathan Hunt

KERN_DEBUG

2001-05-31 Thread Jonathan Hunt

Hi,

Please excuse my ignorance but could someone please tell me what I must do to 
make printk(KERN_DEBUG ... messages appear on the screen. I have compiled 
gnumach with --enable-kdb but do I have to pass a parameter on bootup or 
something?

Thanks,
Jonathan Hunt

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

We're definetly on the premature side of the Hurd. =)

Do you have Linux or BSD running on that computer too?  If yes, create
the swap partition, and edit the /etc/fstab from there.

If not, you'll probably want some other OS on there so that you can
recover the computer from time to time. =)

Tks,
