Just switched a processor on a system, went fine, but added an

It shows up in the BIOS. Googled a bit and added "mem=2048M" to the
kernal
line in /boot/grub/grub.conf. Didn't work. Still just shows a gig (the
original memory). cat /proc/meminfo doesn't show it, nor does top,
vmstat, etc.
Don't wanna get flamed, but am running unstable 2.4.27 woody right now
and don't want to reinstall if I don't need to. Just want to get this
memory recognized.
I am guessing you running a PentiumPro class (i686) CPU at least. If
so, the default Debian kernel for -386 does not have HIGHMEM support.
However, if you switch to the -686 kernel, then you will get HIGHMEM
support.
