Fedora Core 6 changes how the kernels are configured. If you install the 
32bit version of FC6 on a server with more than 4G of ram, by default it 
will only be able to access the first 4G.

To access more than 4G of ram on a 32bit install, you need to install 
the kernel-PAE package:

	yum install kernel-PAE

and reboot.


The PAE kernel can access up to 64G of ram on a 32bit install.
