I've put together a system with 4gb of RAM (dell 6300, 2x PIII 550 xeon CPUs) and can see that the kernel reports all 4gb is there and I can use 4gb if running multiple processes. However, I've been unable to malloc and use more than 1gb per process. Is this a limitation or am I doing something wrong? I've tried to use the obsolete FAQ on large memory to give me some ideas of where to poke around but no luck so far. Any ideas or pointers for me to investigate? --- Kelly Alexander nVidia Corporation - Linux-mm-www: builders list for the Linux-MM website Archive: http://humbolt.nl.linux.org/lists/ Web site: http://www.linux.eu.org/Linux-MM/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
