Maximum RAM size??

**andutt** · 05-14-2003

Does anybody know if there is any limit on how big RAM memory you can have on a linux running RH 7.3 with the 2.4.19 kernel??. i´m for the moment using 4gb but see the need of putting in another 2gb to 6gb. Does anybody know??

It's not hard at all. Just recompile the kernel and set the High Memory Support to 64 GB.

Do you know what the setting is set to default and where in the make menuconfig menu this chooise is located??

I recalled that i modifyed that value from the beinning to support 4gb.

I'd guess that is different from distro to distro, but I don't think any of them uses the 36 GB option. It's located under Processor Type and Features.

Default for Red hat is 4.0 The setting I think is Under general settings. Just vi the .config file in /usr/src/kernel verson. Really easy to find
