My machine is dual Xeon with 4GB RAM.
When I boot with 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp, all 4GB RAM is seen and used normally. However, when I boot with 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4xen0, only 832MB RAM can be used. The warning message indicates that I should use a HIGHMEM enabled kernel.
1. How can I define HIGHMEM?
2. Can it be done with this binary FC4 release or I have to compile my own kernel and set HIGHMEM?
3. Anyone has  RPM built for this?

Thanks lists,

Attached is the message:
