Greetings,
I recently got cranky at my old, slow Cyrix 6x86 and blew a bunch of money on a nice fast PII.
However, Linux refuses to detect more than 64M of RAM on my new motherboard without being told how much there is. A quick survey of friends revealed that the whizbang new memory-detection code in recent kernels works just fine for them, yet not for me.
If I've overlooked any crucial details, please email me and I'll quite happily send them to you.
(Incidentally, does anyone know why the warning buzzer on the motherboard goes off during memory-intensive activities (like the BIOS memory test), and why my machine runs fine for maybe ten minutes, then locks up when jumpered to use a 100 MHz bus? I've already replaced the RAM, but that hasn't helped. I'd appreciate any suggestions y'all might have. =)
