Hrrm, seems as if the ISO may be using a PAE kernel by default. PAE is a kernel that will be able to make use of more than 4GB of RAM with i686. Ah, I see it's apparently a decision by RH. I assume there's some logic in it, though I don't know what it is. http://jp.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26352&forum=14 See if it's possible to add PAE to the machine settings in VirtualBox. Settings=>System=>Processor There's a checkbox for PAE. Try checking that off and seeing if it helps. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: I told you.
