[linux-audio-user] 64Studio 2.6.17-2-multimedia Kernel is not a highmem enabled kernel

Hello and happy new year to all linux-musicians,

I just had a look to my dmesg info this morning and I saw that the 
kernel used in 64studio 1.0 I installed 3 days ago doesn't used all my 
RAM (I have 1 Go).

Google tells me they were two ways to fix it :
- Apply the ck patch from Con Kolivas
- Recompile the kernel activating kernel 1G..

In both case, it looks to me quite difficult to apply on a real time 
kernel (sources of 2.6.17-2-multimedia doesn't seem to be available on 
the web, I couldn't find them) and I'm not experimented enough to 
compile a normal kernel (2.6.18 for example) and to apply realtime patch...

Is there another solution ?
Do you know where to find sources for my kernel ?


Best regards.
