- I've been trying to use kmem_alloc to allocate large buffers
- on an S800. However the call seems to hang on requests over
- 1 megabyte. The system has over 200 mb of lockable memory.
-
- Does anybody know of a better way to grab large chunks of memory
- on the S800 ? Sys_memall which does the job nicely on 700s doesn't
- exist on the 800s, at least not in release 7.0.
-
- Thanks,
