'Cannot allocate kernols'

[kbalchinn]

Upon trying to run ShredOS on my laptop, after booting my laptop through the USB with Shred OS on it, it will download ShredOS in the top left and then proceed to say 'cannot allocate kernolls' Ive used ChatGPT for help however it only seems to tell me I dont have enough ram and I already know I do as another system I used shred on worked fine with the exact same amount of ram. Any suggestions ?

When you report problems please provide system details, make, model, system RAM, GPU RAM etc. In ShredOS in the second virtual terminal you can type `lspci -k' as the bare minimum required.

Does it say out of memory or just cannot allocate kernel?

Although the two systems may have the same amount of system RAM they may have different graphics cards. This is important as GRUB loads ShredOS into the first 4GB of CPU memory, however that 4GB may also be used by the bios for the GPU. In some bios you can reduce the amount of memory allocated by the bios to the GPU and that would free up space for ShredOS.

You mentioned that these were fairly old laptops. How much CPU RAM do they have?
