Re: Fiasco and linux22 -- RMGR: overlapping modules problem

[k Macy]

This is not the same error message, but it sounds like
the same problem. On the FAQ for L4KA:
from http://www.l4ka.org/projects/hazelnut/faq.asp

Linux does not start - I get the error "sigma0: page
0x200002 requested twice..."
                 At boot time RMGR configures reserved
memory areas based on the system's memory
configuration. The
                 Linux kernel binary is pretty big and
overlaps sometimes with needed memory. Thus, the
physical memory is
                 not available anymore and sigma0
denies to hand it out.
                 Our GRUB version provides a keyword
(modaddr) to specify the load address of modules.
Simply add the
                 modaddr-line to your menu.lst file as
following: 

                      kernel=(nd)/l4-ka/rmgr
-configfile -sigma0
                      modaddr=0x03000000
                      module=(nd)/l4-ka/x86-kernel
                      module=(nd)/l4-ka/sigma0
                      module=(nd)/l4-ka/rmgr.cfg
                      module=(nd)/l4-ka/glinux
root=/dev/hda1 no-scroll

                 All module images are now loaded
starting at physical address 0x03000000 (48MB).
