Hi, I try to install MySQL 4.1.9 (official RPM from mysql.com). My machine is running linux 2.6.9, and it has 4GB of RAM. The problem is MySQL won't start if I set innodb_buffer_pool_size to >= 2GB. Here is my ulimit.

Is there any memory limit when it is run on linux? What can I do so MySQL can run with >= 2GB RAM? Thank you in advance.
