I'm installing 1.5.10 on a 286 AT with 40M rodime HD, 1M ram. Untouched PH distribution. Partition details appended. Using the AT boot floppy, I can use /dev/hd3 as a root device, but not as the default RAM image device: I get Memory manager panic: not enough memory for RAM disk Executing in real mode and then either a reboot or a hang. I've tried making the (hd3) /dev/ram as 510k, 400k and 130k; the actual partition size of hd3 is 510k, and just contains the inital vanilla root disk files. Has anyone seen this problem or know what's happening? - douglas ray networks & comms partition details: |-first--| |--last--| |----sectors----| blocks Cyl Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec base last size size 1 1 A DOS-16 0 1 1 574 5 16 17 58648 58632 29316 2 2 MINIX 575 0 1 808 5 17 58650 82517 23868 11934 3 3 MINIX 809 0 1 818 5 17 82518 83537 1020 510 No bad blocks. after mkfs (before /etc/setup_root): |---inodes---| |-----blocks----| tot used free total used free /dev/hd2 3986 1 3985 11934 131 11803 /dev/hd3 178 1 177 510 11 499 after "/etc/setup_root /dev/hd3 510 29316 11934 510 0": |---inodes---| |-----blocks----| tot used free total used free /dev/hd3 178 67 111 510 126 384
