From: Jorn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> AS arch/i386/boot/setup.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/arch/i386/boot/setup.S: Assembler messages: /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/arch/i386/boot/setup.S:159: Warning: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff The warning is correct, the calculated value for ramdisk_max would be 0xb7ffffff instead of 0x37ffffff. Truncating 0xb7ffffff to 0x37ffffff is desired behaviour, so we should do it explicitly. --- 25-akpm/arch/i386/boot/setup.S | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN arch/i386/boot/setup.S~ramdisk-size-warning-fix arch/i386/boot/setup.S --- 25/arch/i386/boot/setup.S~ramdisk-size-warning-fix Mon May 3 16:16:03 2004 +++ 25-akpm/arch/i386/boot/setup.S Mon May 3 16:16:03 2004 @@ -156,7 +156,8 @@ cmd_line_ptr: .long 0 # (Header versio # can be located anywhere in # low memory 0x10000 or higher. -ramdisk_max: .long MAXMEM-1 # (Header version 0x0203 or later) +ramdisk_max: .long (MAXMEM-1) & 0x7fffffff + # (Header version 0x0203 or later) # The highest safe address for # the contents of an initrd _
