No suitable memory target error following gnipsel.com Mint Preempt Kernel Patch was created by pmconsulting
I have a 64 Gb SSD drive & successfully installed Mint 19.1. I followed the instructions here: gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/uspace/linuxmint19-rt.html

After installing the Grub Customizer & rebooting I am unable to start the system. I'm getting an error "no suitable memory target found".

During the install, I allowed the Mint installer to create default partitions on the drive. Do I need to manually create root, home & swap partitions to get rid of this error? Is there something I can during the xconfiguration step to reduce the size - perhaps strip developer modules?

The kernel modules were built with all symbols. So your initrd is probably way bigger than it is suppose to be.

I had the same problem.

That's where unix starts to turn Greek to me. Kernel modules, symbols & initrd are all just strange words. I have a hunch that kernel modules are similar to apache modules, but I have no idea what symbols are or what an initrd is let alone what I'm supposed to to to them or how I'm supposed to do it.

Install Debian 9.

I tried stripping symbols and spent about hours on it. I needed to get up and running so I installed Debian 9.
I will revisit soon though as I want mint

The kernel makefile should strip debug symbols with.... make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install or
Make sure CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not defined.

This should work. I haven't tried it but will as soon as I get a chance.
