Hi All,<BR>
Im running Redhat AS 2.1 on an IBM HS20 Blade Server.<BR>
I have just upgraded the ram to 8Gb.<BR>
The 8Gb memory shows up in the bios but the linux system only shows 4gb?<BR>
<BR>
Is there any special way to get the extra memory recognized in Redhat AS 2.1?<BR>
<BR>
I have a server that's running Redhat ES 2.1 that has 8gb of ram.<BR>
That system has a custom kernel and is running on different hardware, I'm wondering if that would be the reason why?<BR>
<BR>
Redhat AS 2.1
