Hi All, |

It looks like our 2.4.19+ kernels may have an incompatibility between |
| 4 |
XFS and highmem. To get installation working on systems with 1Gb+ |
| 5 |
memory, you should either *not* use highmem or pass the "mem=512m" boot |
| 6 |
option to the boot CD kernel. This will force highmem to go off. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
If you have 1Gb+ memory, please avoid XFS for the time being or try |
| 9 |
using an XFS CVS kernel. If you really want to use XFS with our kernel |
| 10 |
and have 1Gb+ memory, leave out highmem support for now. Linux will see |
| 11 |
less than 1Gb of your memory, but it will allow it to run stably until |
| 12 |
you can compile your own XFS kernel from CVS. We will officially |
| 13 |
addressing this problem shortly. |
