Note that the Theses and Aries are Xeon systems, which are 32-bit systems in the first place, so the problem described is likely not applicable to these. I fully expect that the problem being encountered on Baby Alcor (and Bonnie?) is specifically because of the large memory configuration, on a 64-bit system, but running a 32-bit OS configuration. At least that's how I understood the explanation. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl@alcor.concordia.ca Systems and Network analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
