Problem is, when it reboots to load the generic kernel for the first time it panics with a bounce buffers error. Somebody on IRC talked vaguely about a way of telling the kernel to assume the amount of system memory is less that the actual amount so I could recompile the kernel without BOUNCE_BUFFERS then reboot and use the full amount. Unfortunately I can't get it to work the way it was described and I'm not sure such a feature even exists. Dose it? Thanks -- Geoffrey Robinson geoffr@globalserve.net Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
