I saw this problem on the 2.4 kernel when I was using kernel-smp on a 3
GB machine.
Going to kernel-bigmem fixed it. FC doesn't have a kernel-bigmem, but I
wonder
what would happen if you tried kernel-smp. I notice that
kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.358.i686
Has CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y while kernel-2.6.5-1.358.i686 has
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y.
