RAM and DUAL CPU problem

RAM and DUAL CPU problem

[G. Ravinder]

Hi,

 I am using "HP Prolient DL 380 Dual processor(2X2.4Ghz) with 6GB RAM with
Readhat Linux 7.3 OS. But the problem is that the kernel is detecting only
4GB RAM and single CPU(Not two CPU's).The kernel version is
2.4.18-3 on an i686". Can you please suggest how to
configure dual CPU and 6GB RAM on this server.

First off you are best at rebuilding the kernel yourself. The options
you need are:

Processor type and features:

 --> High Memory Support --> 64 GB

 --> Symmetric multi-processing support.

If kernel building seems to be too risky for you then you need to
install:

rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.4.18-3.i686.rpm 

This should give you the SMP support but I cannot say whether the entire
memory is going to be recognized. I guess both will but try.
