I agree that shipping a 4G capable kernel which wouldn't boot would be a
problem. Not best, as they say in the chess world. :-)
However, I think that this is something which is going to need to be
solved, especially with more and more laptops coming out which support
4G. Especially when a 4G
Michael said it. It is hard to build a default kernel that would support
more memory because such kernel would also fail to boot on some other
hardware - causing more problems than what it would fix. There is also
performance hit and the single processes still have 3G limitation for
their size.
I think you would need to use the 64bit version of Ubuntu (or the 32big
-server kernel, which won't have all the desktop restricted drivers) to
access more than 3G of RAM for userspace.
