large memory

[michaell taylor]

I am trying to get fedora 7 installed on a dell poweredge sc1430, two dual  
processor machine with 8 gigs of memory.

The problem is the memory.  Although bios recognized 8 gigs, fedora seems  
to only see 4 gigs.

I vaguely remember this problem from a previous fedora release.  I solved  
it before (I am reasonably sure) by compiling or installing a special  
kernel for high memory systems.

I've searched for info on such a kernel for fc7, but coming up dry.  Any  
ideas out there?
