Hi:

I installed the 4.8 release on a new box with 4GB memory, and found
kernel panic when I tried to write date. But the system run great with
only 2GB memory. Is there any kernel compiling option in the LINT, like
the "high mem" option in Linux?

BTW, we also tried 4.6 release, didn't have this problem but had some
different issues.

The following is the kernel core dump when I tried to generate a 1GB
date set.

#0  0xc0216386 in dumpsys ()
(kgdb) where
#0  0xc0216386 in dumpsys ()
#1  0xc0216157 in boot ()
#2  0xc021657c in poweroff_wait ()
#3  0xc0389dbe in trap_fatal ()

#16 0x8048b3f in ?? ()
#17 0x80496f1 in ?? ()
#18 0x8048971 in ?? ()

Thanks in advance for any clue.
