I have a embedded systems board running Redhat Linux 2.4 kernel. The processor is the Intel xscale ARM. The Linux is booted using Redboot, and my ramdisk and zimage are both in flash. I am getting the want=5128, limit=4096 error and eventually the box hangs.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a million!
