Hi Folks,I know I must be doing something very silly, but my brand new installation is only finding 1gig of the 4gig of ram installed in my brand new server.Even if I stick a "mem=4096m" line as a boot option, it's still not showing up. (the only suggestion I've seen in the reference materials).Any suggestions? Thanks very much, Miles Fidelman
what kernel are you using? check /boot/config-$kernel see: jeffd@proto:~$ grep CONFIG_HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386 # CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not setjeffd@proto:~$ grep CONFIG_HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.8-2-k7 CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM=ythis is from a sarge system that i have, the 386 kernel wont support that much memory, but the k7 will, those are the only ones I have, but I'd bet that the 686 versions do as well.
