hi,all:

     I have a bad headache of the memory problem of mpc8260 board using
linuxppc-2.4.4, the ELDK version.we got 32M ram,after booting,it seems
have 21000 K free,but when we use the system,it seems have little
memory.I did a simple test about this,and use bdi2000+gdb get some
data.and feel lost about the infomation.Can anybody give some infomation
about it? thx a lot.

==>the simple program is used to test:

sleep1.c:

main()
{
        while(1)
                sleep(1);
}

==>call it 12 times:

bash-2.05#./sleep1 &
[12] 229

==>just now ,it jump into the break point:

Breakpoint 4, bad_page_fault (regs=0xc1cd3ab0, address=2104558664, sig=2104558456) at fault.c:224
224             if ((fixup = search_exception_table(regs->nip)) != 0) {
