Hi all,
Please respond directly since I'm not on this mailing list.
I have 2 intertwined problems that my initial web research has failed to reveal help. I recently upgraded machines and the new one has 1GB RAM. If I build a 2.4.0pre10 (or 8 or 9, I haven't tried earlier) kernel and chose the 1GB memory setting then only 900504 K is detected (but everything runs stably). If I chose the 4GB memory setting then the full 1 G is detected but I get oops. I can reliably force an oops by mounting a samba drive and then accessing it (via ls for example). So, is this a known issue? Should I do an oops analysis? What can I do to fix this?
Also 2 items of note. The kernel that comes RetHat 6.2 detects all of the RAM and is stable. Related to this, although not that important, I also noticed that via this RedHad kernel, hdparm shows memory access (not disk) of over 200 MB/s. On my 2.4 kernels this is about 120MB/s. Any ideas why? Second, it is a dual PIII system so is an SMP kernel, if that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
