I've been running on a 4xLion with 32GB ram, with a modified 2.4.9 kernel (basically fix a couple driver bugs and kick the vm in the teeth so it doesn't kill my machine). Others here have been running RedHat 7.2-based kernels and 2.4.16/18 with the IA64 patches. If you have problems with > 2GB memory it is most likely due to a driver problem. The integrated SCSI and network seem to work fine [network only uses memory < 2GB]; several others I've had to "fix". If it just runs "slow", then it is probably a VM issue. Kevin
