I'm running debian on a dell poweredge 1750 and just intalled 6GB of

Problem - I can only "see" 4GB of memory. Here is the output from
"free -m":
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3995 3908 86 0 145 2668
-/+ buffers/cache: 1094 2901
Swap: 2047 0 2047
What do I need to do in order to make the other 2GB of memory available?
Build your own kernel, setting the appropriate HIGHMEM option.
$ grep HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.12-1-386
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
Ron's right, you need to rebuild your kernel with high memory support
enabled and everything gonna be OK with you 6GB
