I had AIX installed previously and it recognized 16Gb. uname -a Linux new-host-4 3.16.0-4-powerpc64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) ppc64 GNU/Linux lscpu Architecture: ppc64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Big Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 2 NUMA node(s): 1 Model: IBM,8203-E4A Hypervisor vendor: pHyp Virtualization type: para L1d cache: 64K L1i cache: 64K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3 Seems like a config issue? Wouldn't a 32 bit kernel see the 32 bit limit, under 4Gb?
