I am trying to get fedora 7 installed on a dell poweredge sc1430, two dual
processor machine with 8 gigs of memory.
The problem is the memory. Although bios recognized 8 gigs, fedora seems
to only see 4 gigs.
I vaguely remember this problem from a previous fedora release. I solved
it before (I am reasonably sure) by compiling or installing a special
kernel for high memory systems.
I've searched for info on such a kernel for fc7, but coming up dry. Any
ideas out there?
