If that is turned on, then when trying to start up the server and create the initial shared memory segments, the oninit process will open up /proc/meminfo looking for HugePages_Free and Hugepagesize. I'm not familiar with this concept on Linux, but I would assume it is some sort of OS configuration thing. From the message you got, it would appear that we found Hugepagesize set to be 0 from our query to /proc/meminfo, at which point we would no longer attempt to use that feature.
