Re: [Xen-users] RHEL 5.2 Xen Kernel doesn't detect all amount ofphysical memory

[Juan Pablo Rojas Jiménez <jprojas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

as far as i know, memory limits come from the compilation time options 
in the kernel...
I guess that 2.6 kernels, in order to 'view' more than 4Gb of memory, 
need to have CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y  enabled, so i would say that they can 
see at least 64Gb :)
Hope this helps,

Juan Pablo
