Hello List,
Today I have built a new box running Debian testing with 2GB of RAM. I
used Debian testing because the Sarge installer didn't support my hardware.
The problem is that while my BIOS reports the full 2GB of RAM, top only
reports 960MB.
I have learnt from Google that some kernels lack "highmem" support, and
suspect this is the cause of my problem. I guess I need to install a new
kernel? uname -a reports the following:
Linux artoo 2.6.15-1-486 #2 Mon Mar 6 15:19:16 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I have been searching packages.debian.org, but am not sure which kernel
would be the most suitable. I have an AMD64 processor, but I chose to
use the regular i386 port because the amd64 port is unofficial.
Could anyone suggest which would be the most suitable kernel for me?
Many Thanks, Andy
