Anyone know why my linux guest in VMware ESX4 cannot see more then 4GB of memory? I have tried to set the guest mem to 5GB or 6GB and boot with lilo.conf having:
append=" mem=5120M vt.default_utf8=0"
append=" mem=6144M vt.default_utf8=0"
But no matter what it never sees more then 4GB or memory. It's a custom built 3.10.18 kernel. 64bit.
uname -a gives:
Linux server 3.10.18 #13 SMP Sat Dec 14 15:53:39 EST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
