How to compile Kernel with bigmem support
Hi every one!
I have a Debian distro and I'm compiling the kernel to activate layer 7 filtering on iptables. I patched the kernel 2.6.26 and compiled it perfectly for arch x86. Now, what I need to do is to enable the bigmem capability but I just can't find out what I need to do... Should I change anything in menuconfig? should I apply any other patch? I'm trying google it for a solution but I just can't find any thing. I hope some one here could give me some direction to complete this task... Thanks a lot for the help! |
Maybe because google also doesn't know what you are asking either. What do you mean by "bigmem" ?.
For a start, try grepping your .config for "highmem" and "hugetlb". |
What I mean by bigmem is the capability of processors 32 bits 686 to manage 64 GB of Ram memory.
|
That would be highmem;
Processor type and features -> High Memory Support Standard (32-bit) kernel feature - no patch required. |
Perfect!
Thanks a lot! |
