PAE enabled kernels are necessary on some configurations with 4GB of RAM or more. PAE enables the system to recognize the ram and display it. Non-pae kernels will only show around 3.2gb of RAM.
This is only for an RH-based OS (FC, Centos, etc..):
As root, run:
yum install kernel-PAE
After that's setup, edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file to select the newly installed kernel.
Then reboot the system and that's it!
Just a note that while editing the grub.conf file, be sure to set the 'default' parameter to correspond to the correct placement of your PAE kernel. Usually, it'll be the first one since it was installed last. So, have it say this:
default=0
grub counts kernels like 0,1,2,3 so the first kernel is 0 and so forth.
If 'yum -y install kernel-PAE' says no packages are found, edit /etc/yum.conf and delete the 'kernel-pae' and 'kernel-PAE' from the exclude line. Then try it again.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
Very courteous, professional, and willing to help. They truly care about client based relationships and satisfaction. I will definitely refer more clients their way, and highly recommend Ayksolutions to anyone seeking truly the best.
