For proper support for 6GB RAM you will have to re-compile the kernel as the Debian kernel-image is compiled for 4GB RAM. When you configure the kernel you can change the settings under the "Processor type and Features" section. Change it to 64GB. 64GB is the current maximum limit.

An off-topic question: why is this Debian kernel limited to 4GB and
why do there have to be an option instead of just setting the whole
thing to 64GB?

Another off-topic question: Is there any one out there running Linux
on over 64GB of RAM, and if so, is there such support in the kernel or
did they have to modify the src themselves?
