I put in 128MB of ram on a 2.2.2RELEASE box.

If I dont change the kernel, it runs fine, but sees only 64MB ram.

If I put in the maxmem= line and recompile the kernel, it sees the 128MB,
but after the device probes, when /bin/sh is invoked to run rc it craps
out with an error message saying /bin/sh aborted while running /etc/rc ,
and gives me the option to press enter for a shell - I press enter and it
aborts - I cant get a shell.  I had to reboot the other kernel.

Any ideas where to look?  Is this just a 2.2.2 problem?  I have 2.1 and
2.1.5R boxes running news with this at 128MB and they are fine = so Im
kinda stumped.
