Hi all,
I got the previously mentioned Dell Poweredge 2850 with 4GB RAM and Perc4e raid controller. Installation went well and the raid is pretty fast even with level 5.
However I have another problem now... CentOS 5.2 only sees 256MB RAM. Googling a bit, got me to install kernel-PAE, this went well, but CentOS still sees only 256MB.
does your bios see 4GB? try also memtest to make sure the 4GB are there. cat /proc/meminfo and the boot lines of /var/log/messages
Yupp, pressing F2 at boot and checking in bios says it's 4GB DDR2 ECC IIRC.
Is memtest available at an almost full install?
Will be back shortly with /proc/meminfo and boot-messages from /var/log.
what does the rescue mode says? cd1 of 5.2 i386/x86_64 ?
Did a netinstall, so don't have cd1. Am downloading those now though. Might take a while... 8-) Be back with results soonish.
