kernel panic

[Mark Ellis]

Hi all, getting a panic on boot from gnumach 1.3

panic: linux_init: alloc_contig_mem failed

I've found a few other reports from back in August 2001, possibly 
relating it to too much RAM, or possibly not. I have 354MB.

Oddly, the panic occurs when booted off hd1s3, but not off hd1s1, using 
both a debian kernel and one cross-comped from linux. Disk layout is:-

hd1s1 approx 1GB ext2 hurd/gnu
hd1s3 approx 1GB ext2 hurd/gnu
unpartitioned approx 1GB
hd1s2 approx 7GB ext3 linux/gnu

in that order. Was the previous issue resolved, and does anyone think 
it could be related to mine ? Thanks for any insight.

Mark
