I have at least 3 boxes that have 1024 MB. I think highmem should be
compiled in, in the _default_ MDK kernel.

I tried this:

[root@gauss root]# rpm -ivh kernel-enterprise-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

No module off found for kernel 2.4.18-6mdkenterprise
There was an error when generating initrd try to do a :
/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdkenterprise.img 2.4.18-6mdkenterprise
and see the errors

I had:

alias eth1 off
alias eth2 off
alias eth3 off
alias eth4 off
alias eth5 off
alias eth6 off
alias eth7 off
alias eth8 off
alias eth9 off
alias scsi_hostadapter off

in /etc/modules.conf. I think this is a bug, mkinitrd should ignore off
entrys. If i remove them from modules.conf it works.

What exactly is the difference between the enterprise kernel and the
normal kernel? Only highmem?





smp and highmem, and highmem are still a little buggy, if you look at some of the posts last month, several people had problems with the highmem kernels.
btw. do you really need the highmem kernel for 1024 MB ram? I thought that the kernel supported up to 1024 MB withouth the highmem kernel
anyways, I dont see what your problem has to do with highmem support compiled in the standard kernel or not.

what's the point of all those aliases anyway?
