I've tried installing the 424 kernel on a TP-600E (with 224M ram) - and
I got the following errors:
-----
Test transaction complete, Success!
kernel 100 % done 1/1
memlock: Cannot allocate memory
Couldn't lock into memory, exiting.
mkinitrd failed
-----
I tried setting all limits I can think off - to unlimited - and then
the kernel would install. (it took something like 30 min for the
install)
------
[root at localhost etc]# ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited

I tried to see if the same problem was there with the release kernel
(358) - but this one installs fine - and within 10 min.
I've briefly tried APM suspend - and audio on the 600E (with kernel
424) - and it appeared to work fine.
