RHEL, CentOS, not supporting 7gig RAM

[Reber, Simon]

Hi,

Did you check if the system it self does recognize the new memory.
	During post, does it recognize the memory?

Might be possible that the system it self does not recognize the new
memory and you need to enable it in BIOS.

Regarding the udev timeout, please have a look at the following page:
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480319

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,
Si
