Sir, You need to recompile your kernel with the option for big memory pages included. We run with 2 gig of ram on each of our exercise machines using a kernel modified to recognize it. Use the graphical kernel builder to do that as it is easier.

When I run top or cat proc it only reports about 1 Gig of ram. Is there some limit or do I need a different kernel. Please send help.
