You're not, your using the 486 variant ;)
Check /boot/config-<kernelversion> for HIGHMEM, yours should have
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM set, but you need CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G

Use the correct kernel ;)


Thanks for explaining.

I found these lines in /boot/config-2.6.18-4-486

 CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set

Does this mean CONFIG_HIGNMEM4G was not set when the kernel was compiled?

And how do I install the right kernel? This one came with the Debian Installer CD.

Manon.
