This problem still exists in the Jaunty RC kernel (2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux).
IMHO, the default 32-bit desktop kernel should support 4GB (by enabling PAE) -- or if enabling PAE creates inefficiencies when it's not needed, then a separate PAE-enabled desktop kernel should be made available for those who would benefit from using it. Telling people to use either the server kernel isn't a good solution because the server kernel is optimized for non-interactive computing. And telling people to use a 64-bit system isn't a good solution because some software doesn't run well (or at all?) on a 64-bit system. -- Ubuntu kernel doesn't support >=4GB memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
