Re: [newbie] Mandrake memory capacity
No need to download anything. Just recompile the kernel with high memory support included. http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/kernel.html From: Ashley Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake memory capacity Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2002 20:33:43 +0800 (WST) On Thu, 7 Mar 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know what the limit is for Mandrake's memory capacity.

That's also a viable option, however, I thought it would be far easier to download a kernel RPM and install it.

[newbie] Mandrake memory capacity
Does anyone know what the limit is for Mandrake's memory capacity. I installed Mandrake 8.1 with 2GB of RAM, were doing a lot of compiling here and it will only recognize 1GB! I was just curious on whether or not it would utilize that other 1GB of RAM. Bryce Johnson (RC)2 Technologies Group Exploration Services Division, Veritas DGC Inc. 9177 E.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake memory capacity
I may be wrong about this, but I think its possible to compile support for that much ram into the kernel, but its not done by default.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake memory capacity
I remember something about 900MB being the limit unless you have the Enterprise edition of the kernal. It doesn't get upset it just ignores any memory past that. The advice was being given to skinky a frequent poster. Perhaps he (or others) can help. Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know what the limit is for Mandrake's memory capacity.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake memory capacity
For 8.1, you need to install the enterprise version of the kernel, which is compiled for more than 1 GB of ram. Not sure what the max on it is...I think it was well over 2 GB, though.
