That kernel should be able to handle that memory. Bear in mind that RH 8.0
uses the 2.4.18 kernel, which is different than what you specify. SuSE 8.1
uses the 2.4.19 kernel and you can select a standard or smp kernel for
installation. I would not recommend a generic kernel unless you want to do
your own compiling and patching - and you know exactly what you are doing.
