Hi There,
in the kernel configuration script, der is an entry where one can enable
HighMem, in case one has more that one 1GB RAM available. I have 2x512MB
strips, and I set now this option to 4GB (that means 1GB-4GB RAM in the
Computer). Now it shows this message:
dmesg
Linux version 2.6.15.4.120206v3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian
1:3.3.5-13)) #1 PREEMPT Mon Feb13 00:07:04 GMT 2006
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

96MB HIGHMEM available.
896MB LOWMEM available.
On node 0 totalpages: 253952
DMA zone: 4096 pages, LIFO batch:0
DMA32 zone: 0 pages, LIFO batch:0
Normal zone: 225280 pages, LIFO batch:31
HighMem zone: 24576 pages, LIFO batch:7
So I can use the rest as HighMem, however I have never seen this message
before. I still think it is getting blocked from somewhere, propably by
the BIOS. Any ideas to revert to make the memory available by default?
Best wishes,
Torsten Ruest
