Hi folks,
Today, I installed FC2 on a dual Opteron-140 with 12Gig RAM. The
install would only work if I added "mem=1024M" or similar as a kernel
option.
After the install (which went nicely), the system would only boot if
less than 4Gig was specified using the kernel option "mem=3900M" or
similar. Anything over 4Gig resulted in an immediate re-boot (reset?)
within a second or two of the attempted boot.
This machine has successfully run both SuSE and RHEL v3. I would now
like to use FC2 but am disappointed by the (apparent?) lack of support
for 12Gig RAM. I've tried searching for information on Fedora large-RAM
support but am making not headway. Are there any special kernels or
options that I could try with FC2 to get it to recognize all of the RAM?
Or should I just go back to RHEL 3?
thanks,
Ed
