让32位到linux支持高达64G到内存-PAE

转自http://www.jonboy60.com/2011/01/20/howto-install-kernel-pae/

The Linux kernel with support for up to 64GB of high memory. It

requires a CPU with Physical Address Extensions (PAE). Physical Address

Extension (PAE) is a feature to allow x86 processors to access a

physical address space (including random access memory and memory mapped

devices) larger than 4 gigabytes. The non-PAE kernel can only address

up to 4GB of memory. Install the kernel-PAE package if your machine has

more than 4GB of memory.

Do your computer had more than 4GB RAM? Did you upgrade your computer

to a 4 GB or more RAM? Do you have a 32bit system? If yes, then your

machine may not show up total 4Go, in this case you Linux need to use

the Linux kernel compiled for PAE capable machines. The PAE package

includes a version of the Linux kernel with support for up to 64GB of

high memory. It requires a CPU with Physical Address Extensions (PAE).

Checking Processor

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i PAE

(If you see pae, then your processor supports PAE)

Installing PAE in Fedora/RHEL/CentOS

For fedora /RHEL and CentOS open terminal and Run the following command :

$ yum install kernel-PAE

Then

Reboot

Now PAE kernel should be booted as the default option in the GRUB boot menu.

Installing PAE in Ubuntu

If you had more memory before to install Ubuntu 10.04 and above then you

don`t need to do anything since ubuntu automatically installs the PAE

enabled kernel if it detects more than 3 Gb of available memory. In the

case of the liveCD, a working network connection is required, since the

PAE enabled kernel packages are not present on the CD.

If you have Ubuntu 10.10 already installed and you just upgraded your

Ram to 3GB or more, then you need to install PAE kernel. To do that

open terminal and type the following command :

$ sudo aptitude install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae

Then

Reboot

Now PAE kernel should be booted as the default option in the GRUB boot menu.
