All the comments about enabling 4G highmem are correct - the kernel can't= =20 address a full gig without it. However, enabling this slightly slows=20 down your memory, and some people choose to keep it off for speed unless=20 they're using the full gig. Another option, better imho, is to use a=20 kernel with the 1g_lowmem patch (originally from -ck patchset) or to=20 patch it in yourself, which enables exactly 1 gig of memory at full=20 speed. The patch for kernel 2.6.12 is available here: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.12/2.6.12-ck3/patches/1g_lowmem1_i386= =2Ediff If you need it for a different kernel version, start here: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/ Tom --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC5AAK/rVdTqQq7OwRAmL4AJ4mQsSIe0L+9bvfVNkYuFq1T4bMIwCg2Rnm A2xg2EHOQz9JRuFOq6KoiLo= =HnkY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
