Anyway, I'm not using PAE since I have only 4GB of real memory. Also, I'm using a patch obtained at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2 .4.20pre5aa1/00_3.5G-address-space-5 I need this split to be able to fully utilize the memory for my application, which I hope will work. Are you working on the patch for 2.4 or 2.5 kernel? Could anybody suggest a configuration what is working?
