I enabled both to make it easier to test each mode, oh well... Noted.

HIGHMEM was disabled, but mem=512M so this shouldn't matter, right?
It stopped complaining at about mem=200M (roughly IIRC)

The host is fine... so far.

I'll do that and post the results.

Anything for credits ;-)
BTW, I can't contribute patches (I can code in C, but not kernel code) -
however I can provide free hosting, disk space, etc to all the uml
hackers that ask.
Feel free include my email, in the worst case it will train my spam
filters!
