I have two machines here that are each running with 2G of ram. One

there's a boot commandline option that's needed or a special
kernel-build trick that was needed or what it was. Does anyone
remember what the trick was?
I hate getting old. :-(

There is a "mem=" kernel option at boot time. If this is a Dell server,
there is a bios setting for memory and I don't remember the exact name
of the setting, but it's in the memory section and it mentions OS. If
this is set to ON, the bios thinks the OS cannot handle more than 256M
of memory, and that's all the OS will see.
