Subject: [suse-sparc] Problems booting SuSE 7.3 on SUN E420

    I am trying to load/install 7.3 on a SUN E420 which has two cpu's and 4
    gig's of ram. I have 7.1 loaded already and I had to do the install with
    the following boot command: yast1 mem=512M

    I have tried booting 7.3 from cdrom and I was hoping it would get around the
    limited memory issue in 7.1. If I add not option to the boot command, it
    comes back with an error:
    Could not find any available memory for initial ram disk
    You do not have enough continuous available memory for such initialization.

    I then tried adding the mem option to the manual and text boot selections
    (i.e. text mem=512M and manual mem=512M) but I still get the same error.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    I tried just doing a system update from 7.1 to 7.3 but it got errors on that
    so it was not an option.

    Thanks,

    David
