Bigmem Kernels in RHEL AS 5

[Young, Mike]

Hmm... I have 8GB of RAM in the machine, and POST shows 8GB on boot, but the OS sees only 4GB.

I believe that since RHEL4 the default installed 2.6.9 kernel will  
handle large amounts of memory just fine. Red Hat puts artificial  
limits on their kernel but even in WS it is like 16GB.
