Hi all,
I was asking this in gentoo-server mailing list before, however, they finally pointed me to this place as it could also be a bug in the kernel.
I'm having a TYAN board with two AMD Opteron 248 and 4x 1GB ECC RAM on it. The BIOS reflects what I've plugged in, however, the operating system does not.
my `uname -a` output is: Linux battousai 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Sat May 14 02:42:15 CEST 2005 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
and my `dmidecode` output is located at [0]. For ANY reason, dmidecode even knows about my 4GB RAM, but `free -m` nor `kinfocenter` of KDE claims to see just 3GB.
free -m: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3015 2993 22 0 15 2638 -/+ buffers/cache: 338 2677 Swap: 511 1 510
This is rather sad to see 1GB RAM plugged in for nothing.
Has anyone a hint for my WHY this is happening and HOW I could get rid of it?
Thanks in advance, Christian Parpart.
