Using VMware I can confirm that booting with 64MB works. A lot of the early setup code simply doesn't allow for out of memory - if we hit it we die, but I would usually expect a panic. The initcall tracer may help pin down where it gets too. You can get a kernel into a fair bit under 1.1MB but you do need some patches that Dave Miller refuses to accept for upstream networking, some patches done for other trees and a recent x86 tool chain that can do the necessary link time optimisations/dropping. |
