Thanks, that sounds like a perfectly good way to solve the problem. I never thought to use another distro's kernel.
I guess it does not really hurt anything to use the RedHat kernel on a Debian system. Actually, I forgot that RedHat has been making a big effort to create a kernel that would run high memory Oracle systems. Thus, RedHat probably has the most experienced kernel package developers for high memory support. > Producing a good kernel for serious server use is a lot of work.
