Re: Squeeze X86 with 4GByte RAM?

[Gábor Hársfalvi <hgabi84@gmail.com>]

But as I wrote it found 3,5 GByte of RAM with normal kernel.

So what should I do?

Please step by step.

Thanks

Why?

I am running Squeeze with 16GB RAM and have an ordinary kernel.  I in fact
have a back-ported one at the moment, but because of my on-board ethernet,
not for PAE.

lisi@Tux-II:~$ uname -a
Linux Tux-II 3.2.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 23 07:41:30 UTC 2012 x86_64
GNU/Linux

You don't need a special PAE kernel in Squeeze.
