I recently got my home server back up and running after the power supply went out. I put some more memory in it, and it shows up fine as 1048576 KB (1 gigabyte). Gentoo, however, is only showing it as 904336 KB (883.14 MB) . I'm curious as to why it's not detecting 140.86 MB. Originally the server had a 512mb stick of generic PC2700 memory; I put 2 sticks of 256 MB (Mushkin, PC3200). The FSB is set to 133 mhz and cpu/mem ratio is set 1:1 (Athlon XP 2400+ for the processor). It's running in a dual channel memory config. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Mem MemTotal: 904336 kB MemFree: 91224 kB Any ideas?
Hm, now this is a toughie. Barring any BIOS misconfigurations, I'd say that you might have a defective stick of RAM. Try booting another OS and see if it can detect the full gigabyte; if it happens then it's probably a hardware problem, not a Gentoo issue.
