Right. I've seen a mention on this all over the Net.

Anyway, I'm not using PAE since I have only 4GB of real memory.
Also, I'm using a patch obtained at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2
.4.20pre5aa1/00_3.5G-address-space-5

I need this split to be able to fully utilize the memory for my
application, which I hope will work. Are you working on the patch
for 2.4 or 2.5 kernel?

Could anybody suggest a configuration what is working?

Thanks
Giga
