When I manipulated the kernel parameters, it did show the PAE kernel 
parm. The higmmem64 is above of the PAE so I thought trying the himem64 
first :).

Last week I googled and found an interesting thread about 
himem4g,himem64 and PAE. I did save it in my bookmark but it just 
disappeared this morning. Will search for it again.
