Hi everybody...
I have put 1 gb more of ram into my server, but it still showes that there's only 1 gb of ram. I see that there is 2gb of ram in the bios...
I know that i have to make smth like this in the kernel config:
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=n
But i don't really know how to recompile the kernel, anyone can say everything step by step how to do this ? Thanks.

i think you will want

# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y

read the 2 sticky posts at the top of this forum (one was pointed to by noxious). They should get you started. Have a go. Get stuck. Then ask here if you need some more help.

See this thread from a few days ago for an alternative suggestion (Re: Con Kolivas' 1BG mem patch)
