Thanks for explaining.

I found these lines in /boot/config-2.6.18-4-486

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set

Does this mean CONFIG_HIGNMEM4G was not set when the kernel was compiled?

And how do I install the right kernel? This one came with the Debian Installer CD.

Do you need help?

Manon.
