When the OS comes up I only see 4gb of RAM. I am using the SMP kernel (should support 8gb), and as far as I can tell PAE is enabled... Checked in /proc/cpuinfo... I have even tried specifying mem=8192M on the kernel line in grub.conf... still no luck... I *believe* the 32bit OS will not see the additional RAM, I am just looking for any information that could point me to why so I can explain to the developers... -Ryan --Boundary_(ID_LllpMUf+87wEzjp1cMPcDg) Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=400483520-31052006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all!</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=400483520-31052006><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=400483520-31052006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to build a DL-385 with AS 3.0 Update 7 32bit...
