- You are running into the 64K limit on the system address space. All
- system-related modules, like file managers, device drivers, and device
- descriptors, have to fit into the 64K system address space. The nastiest
- aspect of this is that modules loaded after boot require memory rounded
- up to a multiple of 8K, so that 64K system space gets filled up fast when
- you are loading system modules by hand.
-
- The only solution is to bite the bullet and build a new boot file with the
- bitbang and rammer drivers and descriptors.
