[WBEL-users] Oracle 10G, updated kernel, memory problems

[Jouko Ylikulju]

I just subscriped to list, so sorry if this is FAQ. (Don't find answers 
from list archives)

First I tried to install Oracle 10G in WBEL3 (with updated kernel, 
kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.EL.i686) but installer never show up.
Next day I installed wbel again, but without any updates, and 
installation works out of the box.
Then I update kernel again to kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.EL.i686, but after 
that Enterprise manager doesn't start.
So, now I am back in original kernel, and this is OK for me, but 
wondering....

But the problem is RAM.
I have HP Proliant DL380 G4 with 4GB RAM.
Linux can only see 3.5GB. Tried both smb and hugemem kernel.
Is this normal / HP problem / Linux problem / WBEL problem?
