Hello, i'm having a after build problem with lastest version 1.10.x 68ce297 with gargoyle.The problem is the gargoyle system seems to not seeing more ram than 916728k total ram.If i set ram size from vmware workstation 2 gb, that value still doesn't change.

Is there a kernel build option that i don't choose, any help would be good

Here is the build config

Best regards.

If you want to stick with x86_generic, then you should set:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
Maybe also check that CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set.

I think switching to x86_64 would achieve the same result (obviously by switching to a 64 bit architecture)

Thanks for suggestion, i tried with x86 with

Code: Select all

CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y

but no luck, then i tried x64 build but x64 didn't even boot, on vmware halted on waiting for root device.VirtualBox doesn't get ahead from grub loader.

How can i build an older version, will try if someone helps.

Anyway some folks asked for images, here they are.

It's my git above.Fixed somethings with target x86 and x86-64.

And your image i tryed is booting ok with gargoyle_1.10.x-x86-generic-combined-ext4.vdi.
