I have installed the PAE kernel with;
yum install kernel-PAE
... and then I edited /boot/grub/grub.conf and set;
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/root
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-238.12.1.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/root
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-238.9.1.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/root
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5.img
But I see;
Kernel Version 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE (SMP)
In Hardware Information and in 'free' I see;
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4086620 288768 3797852 0 18996 152596
-/+ buffers/cache: 117176 3969444
Swap: 4194296 0 4194296
... so I assume that I have only 4GB memory used.
Not sure what to do next, does anyone have any suggestions?
Oh and the hardware: DL360G4 with 8GB memory and dual 3.4 processors.
