what is 2GB kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hello all!!

While i was reading manual for gsx server i found following:

Recompile the kernel as a 2GB kernel by enabling the CONFIG_2GB option and
either pass the boot-time switch mem=1983M at the LILO prompt or add it to
lilo.conf

what does this mean by 2GB kernel?
i have 2.4.29 kernel for mandrake?does it not support 2GB RAM?do i need to make extra settings for kernel.


regards,
pavan.
