Hello,
I am having difficulty installing NI-KAL (tried up to version 1.10) on my Centos 5.4 system.
When running updateNIDrivers it fails to start, but with no usefull messages (see below).
Running modprobe nikal gives the message "FATAL: Error inserting nikal (/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.6.1.el5PAE/kernel/natinst/nikal/nikal.ko): Kernel does not have module support"
.. and then looking a dmesg I see (in addition to the warning about non-GPL module)
[nikal] More than 4GB of addressable memory detected.
[nikal] This configuration is not supported. Check the release notes for more information.
although this machine has exactly 4GB of RAM so should not be a problem.
I believe I have all the kernel sources and other necessary stuff installed (have done this procedure many times before on other systems) and have LabVIEW 2009, daqMXbase etc installed without problem.
I already tried the procedure suggested here [http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=36537] and also tried adding mem=4096MB to my grub kernel config.
Any help would be much appreciated as I need to get this working asap.
