Hi,
Today I just discoved that my Toshiba laptop has a small bit of bad
memory. So I went on looking for a way to reserve the memory area from
the command line, because I run several kernels for various reasons and
that it would be easiest to just modify lilo.conf.
After seaching the web and scanning the source code I realize that there
are only patches to do this and not in the vanilla kernel. I was
wondering why such a usefull feature is not in the kernel?
I'm using kernel versions 2.4.7 to 2.4.18 and didn't want to go patching
each one. I'll probably just hardcode the bad memory as reserved and be
done with it.
Is this feature planned on becoming part of the kernel, at least as a
config option, and if not, then why not?
If it is already there, and I missed it, please let me know.
Thanks,
Steven Rostedt
