the rtai patches destroy PAE, and in this case also put me 500 megs to a
gigabyte into swap in 24 hours uptime, the kernel was unpinned and I
went hunting for one that could see the 8Gb and use it, and could also
run the simulated LCNC I use to write gcode from a comfy chair. Found it
in 3.16.7-ckt25-2~bpo70+1 and pinned it again.
I didn't know 32bit pc can use 8GB RAM. I thought it was limitted to 4
because of the 32bit architecture.
