Greetings,
I upgraded my triple boot (Redhat6.0/Debian2.1/Windows95) Pentium from
48MB to 128MB. Each OS on its own drive. Redhat immediately found the
128MB, so did Windows. For Debian I inserted
append="mem=128M"
in its lilo.conf stanza; then Debian also found the 128MB. All systems
boot fine and report the proper RAM size.
My problems start when I run things like "cdrecord" which appears to
lock certain areas of memory (with mlockall?) or "cdparanoia" or
"cdrdao". After a few minutes running, these programs cause
segmentation faults and complain about their buffers only partially
filled. Both Debian and Redhat have this problem. With 48 MB RAM this
never happened.
If I force a limit of 64MB (with a line in lilo.conf) then the problem
goes away. I can find nothing in the FAQ's or HOWTO's about problems
like this. Can somebody please put me on a track to resolving this
problem? Thanks a lot in advance!
Cor van Dijk.
