Hello,

I finally singled out what the problem with my 2.2-BETA installation was.
I was able to build a kernel successfully, but the kernel never booted. It
panicked during the boot with the message:

kmem_suballoc: bad status return of 3

I found out that it was the

options	"MAXMEM=(256*1024)"

in the kernel config file. When I comment it out, the kernel boots fine
(but only uses 64 MB RAM).

The MAXMEM option used to work fine in previous kernel versions. The
syntax is according to the LINT configuration.

Oh well... I need that RAM.

Cheers,

Michael
