Debian erkennt nur 1GB RAM (6GB iinstallled)

Hi frifaj,

you need to get a Kernel with Highmem support. There should be a message of the kernel at boottime that only 960mb are available.

But "top shows only 960GB RAM." i think you have enough memory for the next 50 years.

Your kernel doesn't support HIMEM64G ...You need kernel with

CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y

you mean, we need to recompile our kernel by setting the option you mentionned?

hurggl...i'm not very used in recompiling the kernel....

I think if you want to use a Mashine like this, there will be no choice but to recompile a spezialized Kernel! The default-kernel ist just for starting on !every! Mashine but will never be so fast and stabel then a spezialised Kernel with all options for your Iron! The default-kernel dose not even support your second CPU I guess!

Get an actual Kernel at kernel.org and start from Scratch! Thats the best way to get all the power from your Maschine!

PS.: If you don't like to recompile a kernel, you could give me the Maschine an I give you another witch would work fine with the Defaultkernel (PIII 1GHz, 1GB Ram; etc...)!

apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6.8
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-what_you_need

kernel-2.6.8 maybe support Highmem

Hi,

no, Standard 2.6.8 does not support Highmem.

Btw. here you could get a nice Howto fpor compiling a 2.6 Kernel for Debian (really easy!): LINK
