How do I or where do I make optimization of an kernel 'CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G' memory option so to expand PAE - addressing capabilities of an 4GB of RAM memory feature. BTW I've never configed kernel yet, but I would be glad if someone could throw some info or guide. ;) thx
Yea i did that even before reading this..lolQuote:

5. zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
6. make menuconfig
7. In the menu choose: Processor type and features -> High Memory Support (4GB) -> 64GB, and then exit the program saving the changes when it asks for it
8. make (And wait... Depending on your computer this may take something between 15 minutes to about an hour. This will create /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5/arch/x86/boot/bzImage and /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5/System.map that you will use with grub so copy them as /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.5 and /boot/System.map-2.6.30.5 respectively. You will have to make an entry for them in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
9. make modules
10. make modules_install
11. mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30.5 2.6.30.5
12. reboot (assuming you made the correct entry for grub you will be able to boot from it)
13. (from the shell as root) fix-splash
And everything should be working...
Check the memory with free, and it should report the amount of RAM you really have.
Hope it helps
many thx;)Quote:

I don't have a file labeled

The files that are there are all 2.6.27...
It would appear that I'm not pointed at the right repositories. I haven't changed the /etc/apt/sources.list file. It has the following entries (system won't let me post urls yet so forgive the kludge):
Output of uname -a:Quote:

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tested on my nvidia 9200GS using 2.6.30.5 compiled kernel having Nvidia 185 version binary drivers.also check with the xorg & nvidia log for detail diagnosis.
if all fails and still not avail.there are 2 methods-
open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
replace in the driver section
"nvidia"
to
"nv"
method 2:
copy xorg.conf.back(up) and replace with xorg.conf
you will be having working X session
