1 Hello
2
3 I have 4 GB of ram and a Intel Core 2 Duo E4500.
4 I compiled the kernel as follows:
5 Processor family
6   Core 2/newer Xeon
7
8 Subarchitecture Type
9   PC-compatible
10
11 High Memory Support
12   Off
13
14 All my remaining packages are compiled as 32 bit binaries.
15
16 The last switch causes my system to see less than 1 GB of memory:
17 cat /proc/meminfo:
18 MemTotal:       901816 kB
19
20 AFAIK kernel does not need High Memory Support in case of 64 bit CPUs.
21
22 What's wrong with my kernel config ?
23 Maybe it does not run as a 64 bit CPU ?
24
25 thanks for an answer.
