Yes, there are problems with highmem on hypersparcs.
With ext3 root and ext3 as a module in the initrd and 3x64MB:
banks 0,1,2 - boots ok
banks 0,5,6 - failed to mount root (tested both 2.6.11 and 2.6.12)
error message was "mount: error 15 mounting ext3"
I also tested the latest Aurora corona kernel (2.6.11-1.1166sp1) and it
mounted root without problems.
And I tried appending "mem=64M", but it crashed before initializing the
console (-p showed an endless loop of errors).
Hope that helps,
Bob
