I have the kernel-PAE installed with 6G of RAM.  The server still appears to only see 4G even though the server >counts all 6G at startup.  Could there be an issue addressing the extra RAM?  Maybe I should drop the RAM back to 4G?


Oops,  I guess I did not install the PAE kernel on this server.  Still has 6G installed though.
