Greetings - I've scoured Google and redhat.com most of the morning for a specific answer, but haven't found it. Hopefully someone here will have it.
I have a Compaq ProLiant server with RH 7.2 SMP (2.4.9-31smp kernel). Up until this morning, it had 1.25 GB of RAM. This morning I installed 6 GB RAM, replacing the existing 1.25 GB. The hardware supports 6 GB, and 6 GB shows up fine in the BIOS POST. However, dmesg, /proc/meminfo, and "free -m" shows that only 4 GB was picked up when the server was restarted. Is 4 GB a hard maximum limit for 7.2? Is there a hard maximum limit, and if so, what is it? I did find something on redhat.com that said I could use "mem=XXM" at boot to tell the kernel that there is 6 GB there and not just 4. Is that correct? I would pass "mem=6144M" to the kernel at boot? - John ============================================ John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 248-488-3466 Advertising Audit Service http://www.aas.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
