It depends on how the kernel was compiled (by you or a distributor). If you have the config file of the kernel, look for CONFIG*MEM*. You need CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G for more than 4GB. If it's on an x86_64 machine, you want a kernel with CONFIG_X86_64=y. Depending on the version and how it was compiled, you might find the config as /proc/config.gz. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
