Andy, I'm a little doubt of the hugemem kernel.. I've compiled clean kernel(downloaded directly from www.kernel.org) with 64GB memory switch on. But the compiled i686 kernel still can see only 3.3GB. After I called computer vendor, it is said that the problem is related to address spaces reserved for all kinds of devices, especially the PCI-Express bus, VGA, Promises SATA card. --hahaha hehehe --- Andy Pieters <mailings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > IIRC, you need to use the hugemem kernel!
