Hi all,

I eventually managed to activate noncontigous mem. However, I am not very happy
with it. Programs like ls, who, cp copy pp. randomly report
"segmentation fault - core dumped".
Since a segmentation fault occurs when a program tries to access non-allocated
memory, I guess the errors have s.st. to do with the usage of noncontig ram.
If I boot without the -n1 option (and with only 4 MB of RAM then) no
segmentation faults occur. My assumption is: Every time the system tries to
access the second fast mem block, a segmentation fault occurs.

I use a Commodore 2630 Card with 4 MB on board. The second fast mem segment
is located on a memory expander board connected to the 2630's local bus.

This message appears when booting with the -n1 option:

Amiga 500/2000 (m68030 CPU/MMU m68882 FPU)
real  mem = 7864320 (960 pages)
avail mem = 6201344 (757 pages)
using 60 buffers containing 491520 bytes of memory
memory segment 0 at 00280000 size 00380000    <--- 2630 card
memory segment 1 at 02000000 size 00400000    <--- 2630 memory expansion card
memory segment 2 at 00000000 size 00200000    <--- chip mem


This message appears when booting without -n1:

real  mem = 4194304 (512 pages)
avail mem = 2990080 (365 pages)
using 38 buffers containing 311296 bytes of memory

memory segment 1 at 02000000 size 00400000
memory segment 2 at 00000000 size 00200000

Any hints?
