Hi All;

I just installed Fedora 16, I was running fedora 14.

I installed Postgresql from source and set SHMMAX to 2198066816

I set postgres to use 2GB for shared_buffers and I get this when I try 
to start:

FATAL:  shmat(id=4096103) failed: Cannot allocate memory

The only real difference from Fedora 14 is that on Fedora 16 I'm using 
the PAE kernel

Thoughts?


Thanks in advance
