Here is the error I'm getting:

> 001105.14:42:28.236 [1124] IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid
> argument) key=5432001, size=286224384, permission=600
> This type of error is usually caused by an improper

> 001105.14:42:28.237 [1124] FATAL 1: ShmemCreate: cannot create region

I have re-compiled my kernel and increased SHMMAX. Are there some other memory settings I should be making?

I am running Red Hat 7.0 with all patches.

All help appreciated.

Chris.
