| Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/prom: Increase RMA size to 512MB
 | |
| 
 | |
| When booting very large systems with a large initrd, we run out of
 | |
| space for either the RTAS or the flattened device tree (FDT). Boot
 | |
| fails with messages like:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	Could not allocate memory for RTAS
 | |
| or
 | |
| 	No memory for flatten_device_tree (no room)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Increasing the minimum RMA size to 512MB fixes the problem. This
 | |
| should not have an impact on smaller LPARs (with 256MB memory),
 | |
| as the firmware will cap the RMA to the memory assigned to the LPAR.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fix is based on input/discussions with Michael Ellerman. Thanks to
 | |
| Praveen K. Pandey for testing on a large system.
