Description Geoff Levand 2009-02-17 23:55:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

On PS3 anaconda fails due to lack of memory.

With the current rawhide (Fedora 11) kernel the PS3 hotplug memory add fails and the system boots with just the 128 MiB of boot mem.

Additional info:

On Feb 17, 2009, two patches that fix this problem were merged to linux-2.6.29-rc6:

powerpc/mm: Fix numa reserve bootmem page selection

These are (obviously) in the latest rawhide kernel, so they shouldn't cause you trouble in the future. :)

cheers, kyle
