Huge Memory Kernel

Remember kids!

If 'uname -i' returns x86_64 and you have 16G or more of RAM (supposedly up to a tebibyte), then you don't need a special kernel.

If 'uname -i' returns i386 and you have between 16G or more of RAM, then you need to install a huge memory kernel (on RedHat "up2date -i kernel-hugemem").
