<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#ff00ff size=2><SPAN class=647371010-09042009>I'm
trying to get a kernel with what's known in the RedHat world as hugemem, i.e. 4G
user space. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#ff00ff size=2><SPAN
class=647371010-09042009>I've downloaded a -ent version of the 2.6.18 kernel,

source code does seem to have 4G macros in it, and I find it hard to believe

something stupid. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
