appliance servers with 1 GB of RAM and above...

Kindly,

please say if i'm wrong:
i've got IBM machine with 2GB of RAM, but when loading OXE R7.1 (Linux version: 48.14) it gets:

Code: Select all

Bootinfo src = 0x7ff000  Bootinfo dst = 0xc0105000
Linux version 2.4.17-ll-dhs3 [017.002] (lamarqu1@cb100s039) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #2 Thu Oct 19 1
5:58:01 MEST 2006
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
..
Warning [b]only 896MB[/b] will be used.
Use a [b]HIGHMEM [/b]enabled kernel.
On node 0 totalpages: 229376

So, if i get it right: ALU missed one option in linux kernel compilation (use of BIGMEM, there is setting for 1, 4 or 64 GBs of RAM max) and only first 1GB memory bank is being used, the second 1GB bank olny gets warm?

Regards there,

looks like...

When you do a free -m what do you get? Just to be 100% sure...you know...Linux...OXE...

It looks like... I'm not wrong... so... I've got 1GB of ram just for warming up my server room.
Good... I just love ALU R'n'D...

Will have a brand new one x3250 with R8.01 before end of this month on my desk and will do some testing there, but if 48.14 is linux revision and it means 2.4.17-ll-dhs3, and it's used in R8.01 then, I'm 100% sure.

Don't know who is lamarqu1@cb100s039 but he should consider some linux kernel training...

Open a complain with Alcatel, that is unbelievable...

Hey krzysioD, I would not complain too much - some of the server rooms I go in are DAMN COLD!
