Re: RH 2.1 memory limitation

You need to be running the '-enterprise' series kernel to be able to utilize greater than 4GB of memory on RH2.1.

If you 'rpm -qa "kernel*"', you'll see which kernels are currently installed.

You may need to get a new copy of the kernel from the RH media, or using 'up2date' to get the latest eratta kernel.
One long-haired git at your service...
