-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, As stated in the title, I've got 4 GiB of RAM on this computer. The problem is that I'm using kernel 2.6.32-5-686 which does not support 4 GiB of RAM. Precedently, I had used a bigmem kernel. Here, I simply want to get my 4 GiB of RAM fully recognized in an easy fashion. Is it possible? Thanks.
I'd guess you are running Debian/Stable (Squeeze). Simply install the bigmem kernel image (linux-image-686-bigmem).
Alternatively, you could upgrade to Wheezy which has the PAE already built in. It looks like Wheezy is getting ready for release and it is quite stable.
If your computer has a 64bit CPU, you could also install the 64bit version of Debian over the existing. Just don't format your /home.
