Execute this command at the CLI prompt (or Terminal) to see what you are
running:
grep -A5 -B5 HIGHMEM /boot/config-$(uname -r)
Here is what I got:
[greg@knight:greg]$ grep -A5 -B5 HIGHMEM /boot/config-$(uname -r)

As you can see, this tells you what you are currently running. And as
you can see, my machine does not have it configured. Here is the output
from uname -r.
[greg@knight:greg]$ uname -r
2.6.8-2-k7
And just for the record, please tell us What model CDDI card does this
machine have?
Is it one of these?
SK-55xx
SK-58xx
SK-98xxV1.0
The only one that has downloads from Sys Konnect is the SK-98xxV1.0
CDDI/FDDI cards.
