Subject: memory limits to es3, u4

 

greetings,

 

I've just built my third dual-processor dual-core opteron server.  for 

application reasons, I'm using RHES 3.0, U4.  RHES only supports 2 

processors, and this looks like 4.  but that's not my concern, necessarily.

 

I bought the server w/8gb ram, but the os only sees 3gb.  the bios sees 

it all, and it tests ok, but top and /proc/meminfo both say 3gb.  kernel 

is  2.4.21-27.ELsmp

 

is this a known issue, or is it just me?  do I need to update something?

 

p.s. I stumbled across a suggestion to add "mem=8000M" to grub.conf, but 

that hasn't helped.

 

adv(thanks)ance
