Why can't we use something similar to check memory sizes? I have a thinkpad 770X with 192MB and 2.2.13 only reports 64MB. If I tell linux that it has 192MB then it will crash - I need to tell it 191MB (or rather, the amount that the machine displays on boot.
One other wierd thing happens on the TP. When I suspend the box, and then unsuspend it, the sound stops working until I unload and reload the cs4232 module. Actually I've just found out that if I lower the CD volume in "xmix" then the sound starts to work again.
Cheers
