It would be nice to have a method to test this. Any ideas?
/usr/src/linux/scripts/extract-ikconfig will extract the .config from a [b]zImage file. The config option is CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G or something like that.
I'm not sure, but I suspect /boot/loader/linux is the kernel used during install. It doesn't have any config info. (in 10.1 beta4) However - does the install kernel really need support for highmem? It'll never ever have a use for it, so why would it have been built with the support? And not being to utilise 4Gb should not make it stop just because the machine happens to have 4G installed. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
