Memory Upgrade
Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:18:52 GMT
I am upgrading 32-bit SUSE SLES 9 Service Pack 3 from 4 gig to 8 gig of 
RAM. The 2.6.5-7.244-bigsmp kernel is not present on the server. I need to 
upgrade from 2.6.5-7.244-smp to 2.6.5-7.244-bigsmp. I know I need to 
modify the config to CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y to enable addressability but am 
not sure what steps I need to take to implement the bigsmp kernel -- 
bigsmp initrd and the proper config .. any help would be appreciated

rug install kernel-bigsmp should do the trick.
