Hi Eduardo, Try running kernel-hugemem instead of the normal kernel, I recently had similar problems to you which were fixed by running kernel-hugemem. I upgraded the RAM in a machine from 2gb to 4gb and it ran really slowly with the normal kernel, but fine with kernel-hugemem yum install kernel-hugemem rebboot and pick kernel-hugmem on boot. Good luck, Rhys ------------------------------------- Starting a new thread here... Speaking of kernel-hugemem, I'm now curious - I've seen the term before but never gave it much thought, thinking it must be for those huge servers with 16 Gbytes or more of ram. Rhys comment about using kernel-hugemem on a 4GB system has now prompted me to ask at what point does one go or should go (or need to go) to the hugemem kernel? We have a couple of systems at 4GB and will probably get more systems with even more memory. And what were your metrics for slow running vs. fine running? Thanks! - Larry -- P.
