I have 384MB RAM but i got the same "kmem_map: too small" > panic. I compiled my kernel like you proposed and now i am able to copy > anything to the volume without panic :-) I had increased RAM to 384 and still had a panic with default kmem (IIRC around 100M) and even increasing kmem to 160M did help a long time, but still produced the panic after a while. I don't think 64M applies here as the real limit. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
