Re: [PLUG] RAM Upgrade problems


Not sure if this is relevant to Linux kernel configs, but BSD kernels
have a BUFPAGES setting which needs to be cranked up in order to get
at large amounts of RAM.

(Of course, the symptom there is a kernel panic when it tries to
allocate pages beyond what its made room for in its tables.)

General point is, maybe this isn't a lilo or bios problem, but
rather something limiting in your kernel config.
