As for the problem with 2.3.27 not booting, all of my MCA machines fail to
boot at the same spot with 2.3.27-28 as well, 2.3.26 still boots but reports
the following:
Memory: 14476k/16384k available (0k kernel code, 0k reserved, 0k data, 0k
init)
And while it boots up to a login things are VERY slow with tons of paging
and eventually the VM starts killing everything off, I was lucky to get it
shut down.
2.3.18 does not have this problem but 2.3.23 does. Looking back through the
code there are a lot of changes to the bootmem code so I'm guessing these
changes broke MCA. I haven't had time to look at it further but hope to
soon if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
Later,
Tom
