I'm a little bit confused to say the least. I check the installed rpms with " rpm -qa | grep kernel" and found not only the "default" kernel installed but also "kernel-pae-2.6.27.37-0.1.1". Since I'm currently running the "default" kernel, how do I switch to the "pae" kernel.
Generally, it should be set up as a selectable kernel in Grub - assuming you installed the kernel via YaST (or it was auto installed along the way.. like on initial install of 11.1... which if I remember correctly should have been done on install... I think).
is there a command to determine if my cpu supports 64bit. Finally, is
The Q8200 is a 64 bit quad core Intel http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36547
the pae kernel 32bit supporting memory above 3.2Gb?
The PAE 32 bit kernel supports RAM above 3.2GB. Your 8GB of RAM will be "visible" and usable with a PAE kernel. On a side note... i seem to remember something about the default 32 bit kernel supporting PAE so there was no longer a need to specifically select the PAE kernel... but I could be misremembering... it's been a while since I moved to 64 bit kernels.
