[ale] Memory on AMD Opteron

[John Allgood]

Hello Folks

    I have just purchased and new system with dual opterons and 8GB RAM. 
I have got Redhat ES 3.0 for 64 bit systems installed. The problem is 
that the system will not boot unless is pass to the kernel at boot time 
mem=2048M. I had to do that same when I installed the OS. I tryed other 
flavors of 64bit Linux. IE Suse 9.2 and Fedora 3 and there was a problem 
with the RAID driver for the Adaptec 2200s card. The was not any drivers 
from adaptec for that new of OS. Any Ideas. Redhat ES is supposed to 
support 8GB of RAM and two processors.


Thanks
