To add memory to the linux kernel you must modify '/etc/lilo.conf' to contain the following line: append="mem=XXXM" where XXX is the amount of RAM in MBs. Then run /sbin/lilo. As for the kmalloc error, I myself have never run across it. What kernel and glibc versions (& distro) are you using? Also what NICs do you have installed?

If you have such a "Bad" address translation rule as I described then use super net in your rule. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] kmalloc problem in Linux Hi, We have some problems with a CP2000-SP2 (gateway/server module) when installing and running a rulebase. Management server located on another box. When FW-1 downloads the policy and installs we get this error message in the log: "FW-1: b_getvals: fw_kmalloc(982056) failed". The message repeats a couple of times. Is there a fix for this? Or is this a problem that could be ignored if the messages stops coming after a while. regards, Bjorn Jansson Cell Network Sweden AB ============================================================================ ==== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ============================================================================ ==== ============================================================================ ==== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ============================================================================ ==== ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
