As Richard said, the most likely reason is that high memory support is not compiled into the kernel. The kernel can support maximum memory sizes of 1GB, 4GB, or 64GB. I'd be surprised if Debian kernels supported only 1GB of memory. If this is the case, the only solution would be to recompile the kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
