| 20:51.40 | razorx | hello |
| 21:49.54 | simonrvn | hi |
| 21:50.00 | simonrvn | pahartik: coolness |
| 21:52.01 | pahartik | simonrvn: I found another possible solution too, but I am not sure if it is better... |
| 21:52.23 | pahartik | simonrvn: In "Advanced setup", it seems one could increase "Maximum low memory size" from "0x30000000" to "0x50000000" and adjust "Virtual address of memory base", "Virtual address of kernel base" and "Size of user task space" lower accordingly |
| 21:52.40 | pahartik | simonrvn: Default for those three is "0xc0000000" |
| 21:52.57 | simonrvn | aah, i see |
| 21:54.46 | simonrvn | should probably go put that on the debian wiki somewhere |
| 21:54.52 | pahartik | simonrvn: Do you know more than me about that side of kernel stuff? |
| 21:55.18 | simonrvn | probably not |
| 21:58.08 | pahartik | simonrvn: Since "arch/powerpc/Kconfig" of Linux kernel source did not have any description about what "CONFIG_HIGHMEM" does, I have had it disabled until now... Having never had more than 512 MiB of RAM in any workstation |
| 21:58.38 | simonrvn | highmem support for 1 >= GB |
| 21:58.49 | simonrvn | and IIRC 768 MB on PPC |
| 21:59.10 | simonrvn | (i cold be wrong about that last number) |
| 21:59.13 | simonrvn | could* |
| 22:00.08 | pahartik | simonrvn: Yes... 768 MiB is what I got, when adding 1024 MiB |
| 22:00.16 | simonrvn | ok |
| 22:00.47 | simonrvn | for some odd reason, the number differs according to arch |
| 22:01.00 | simonrvn | some it's 768 some it's 1024 |
| 22:01.36 | pahartik | simonrvn: And in advanced options, "0x30000000" is default for "CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE" |
| 22:02.04 | simonrvn | hmm |
| 22:04.36 | pahartik | simonrvn: Sure, I would prefer to modify "CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE" if it gives any performance advantage over "CONFIG_HIGHMEM", without breaking anything in surprising or unexpected ways |
| 22:05.05 | simonrvn | that would be a plus :) |
| 22:07.01 | pahartik | simonrvn: Channel probably does not have someone who knows kernel well enough to verify it either way... |
| 22:07.26 | simonrvn | #mklinux on this network i'm sure they do |
| 22:09.56 | pahartik | simonrvn: Maybe I should ask over there... |
| 22:10.16 | simonrvn | they have a lot of knowledge on their own, or together |
| 22:10.31 | simonrvn | many of the ppc kernel devs hang out there |
