Re: RE: Making Emergency bootable CD on Debian 3.1 2.4.27 kernel

Hi Balbir,

I had the same problem to resolve the 8GB mem issue, on poweredge 2800.

I had to recompile the kernel with highmem64 option enabled but after
that system does not reboot. 

Can you please tell me if I am missing any steps:

1. Apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.27 fakeroot kernel-package
libncurses5-dev

2. untar the source to /usr/src/

3. copy the current config file

4. /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/
5. Make oldconfig

6. Make menuconfig

7. From the menu enable the highmem64 option

8. fakeroot make-kpkg clean

9. fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.06102006ver12 --initrd
kernel_image

10. dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.27.06102006ver12.deb

11. reboot

Regards,
