Yes, 8GB 133MHz ECC DDR memory.
Also, I have an 8GB swap partition.
modinfo xfs output:

uname -r output:

Does an 8GB memory system require the bigmem kernel? I thought that started
at 16GB?
I had to hand copy the bt from the kdb:

Hm, how is xfs config'd - `modinfo xfs` ....
Also which kernels from each distro, RHEL has -bigmem etc...
Can you enable KDB, and see if you can break in?
