Hello,

I am trying to install a 4th gigabyte of ram. Everything works okay with 3 gigabytes, but when I install the 4th gigabyte the system reports at boot the following error

You probably need the 64GB highmem instead of 4GB for your kernel config.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am using 2.6.15-r1 gentoo sources. Using menuconfig, where would you find the option you mentioned? I am using a dual core AMD 64 if that makes any difference.

Thanks again.

Processor type and features
High Memory...

I don't have that option under Processor type and features. Perhaps I need to upgrade to a more recent kernel.
