Hi, folks.

I'm running RedHat 9 on a Dell PowerEdge server that supposedly has 2 Gig of
RAM. However, when I run "top", the total memory listed is about 1 Gig. Is
there something I can do, perhaps kernel parameters in grub.conf or
elsewhere, to get it to access all of the memory? Please oh please don't
tell me I need to recompile the kernel..... :)

I can't give you the exact syntax, but you might be able to solve this by passing a parameter at boot to the kernel to tell it how much memory the machine has. The option might be "mem=".
