Is there a way to get more memory activated, or is this normal and by design? Second question was... Is there a way to get syslog to put time and date into the dmesg file? This is a real pain in the !@# when trying to find out what causes problems, and the only logging available is from dmesg. Logging to the console with date and time would also be VERY appreciated.
