I had the same problem. I tried to install Linux on a 195 MB extended
partition. Then I reduced the number of blocks given to mke2fs after
the device name and at some point it worked. :( It seems that mke2fs
uses much memory to build the table or something... Anyway, I've got
my Linux partition, but lost a few KB in /dev/null :)
