Well I know running a 64 bit kernel on that model, does see 16GB ram. But I was doing that with no LPAR or anything else, just Debian installed straight onto the machine (IBM support people have a hard time understanding that people might do that). So either you somehow installed a 32 bit kernel, or you have an LPAR or something else restricting your memory size. -- Len Sorensen
