Title: I see only 3GB RAM instead of 8GB RAM Post by: bizonu22 on Friday 11 January 2013, 11:50:05 pm Hello! I have 8 GB Ram on my system. On my Endian 2.5.1 dashboard I see only 3 GB of RAM.
What is the problem? THX! Title: Re: I see only 3GB RAM instead of 8GB RAM Post by: jeremycald on Saturday 23 February 2013, 04:15:50 am i believe efw is only 32-bit and you need a 64-bit OS to be able to address over 3.5G

8GB allocated to endian but it shows just 3041MB, any suggestion?

EFW3 is 32bit too Title: Re: I see only 3GB RAM instead of 8GB RAM Post by: mrkroket on Saturday 23 May 2015, 12:41:54 am Well, you just need a Kernel PAE to allow more than 4GB ram.
Read: http://help.endian.com/entries/25050696-Switching-to-PAE-Enabled-Kernel-on-Software-Appliance This is not for community, but there must be an official kernel-PAE somewhere. If you are ok to install thnigs from unknown sources, you can try with : http://itbr.org/forum/endian-bugs-e-mods/(mod)-kernel-pae-3-2-54-57/ I've not tested it on 3.0, nor I'm suggesting you install it. The best way is to compile by yourself, that is a PITA.

I doubt it. Back when this thread was started years ago, Endian was 32 bit and the ONLY way to get a 32 bit OS to see more than 4GB of ram is to have a processor that has PAE extensions and it has to be compiled into the kernel. These days since you responded years later to an outdated problem, one simply uses the 64 bit version and it's done in 2017. |
