I have a Compaq 486, with 24mb of ram. The generic 2.2.8 kernel detects 16mb. If I compile another kernel with options "MAXMEM=24576" The machine detects 24mb of ram, and runs fine, until I nfs mount /usr/src off of another machine, and try to compile another kernel. It goes through the make depend, and fails on vnode(the first cc line in make). If I go back to the generic kernel, with 16mb of ram, compiling over nfs works fine. I can compile with 24mb of ram, locally only. No other problems have shown up, but I fear they will, the machine mounts a lot from other machines. Kernel messages: (generic kernel:) real memory = 16777216 (16384K bytes) (with above option:) real memory = 25165824 (24576K bytes) I suspect it may have to do with Compaq's reserving a few k of ram at the top of conveintional memory.
