I upgraded yesterday to 2.6.17 and also noticed that there was no split
option. Not thinking much of it I installed the kernel which works fine,
except now /proc/kcore reports 897M, and `free` something to that effect
too.

So I take it I'm only using just less than 1/2 my RAM now, correct?

With 2GB of RAM, Do I now have to enable the embedded option (which
gives me a lot more options, most likely all of which I don't need), and
then select the 2/2 split, or .... ?

I noticed too that if I select the embedded option, but unselect all new
options that come with it I still get the memory split options. Is this
the right way to go?

It's a 64bit processor compiled and running on a 32bit system.

Greetings,
Ralph
