Subject: Crash on reducing the kernel mem.

Hi all,

 I am using MIPS processor, with 256 MB RAM. currently I am using 128
M for drivers and 128 M for Kernel. I tried to allocate more memory
for Drivers,
surprisingly I got crash when I reduced kernel memory to 110 M. My
debugging took me to USB controller, which was not reset in
bootloader.

I am not having any clue, why it didnt crash with 128 M ? How reducing
memory  for kernel bringing it up ?

Or am I going in wrong path ?

please share your views.

Thanks,
prabhu
