heard of something like this.
Yum seg faults when I ask it to do "things" when I have >4096M of
physical memory installed.
I'm running on a system with a Core 2 Quad, QX9770, with a x86_64
install of Fedora 12 from
LIVE CD.
If I drop physical memory down to <= 4096M, everything is happy. But
for >= 4096M, not so happy.
Other parts of the system seem to be working OK. I can bring up Firefox,
muck about in it, etc.
My windows come up without issue.
But YUM can't seem to handle having too much physical memory (which just
strikes me as profoundly weird).
Any clues?
:) Sounds like a bug.. Is it reproducible? If so, maybe grabbing an
strace of the session could shed some light on it. I have a virtual
system that i can allocate 5G or so. If you post what you were trying
to do, perhaps I can replicate.
