-   I have a Dell Server I am trying to get 9.1 installed on but it has 6GB ram and Mandrake kernel is only compiled to use 4GB. This is a dual processor machine.
I am running the enterprise kernel (2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise). I tried compiling a new kernel using the enterprise config file and turning on 64GB support. But it still only shows 4GB. In dmesg I get the following message.
