I upgraded yesterday to 2.6.17 and also noticed that there was no split
option. Not thinking much of it I installed the kernel which works fine,
except now /proc/kcore reports 897M, and `free` something to that effect
too.
So I take it

I figured it out. The VMSPLIT options are *not* available on 64-bit
systems. (Phew. It's neither encroaching madness nor Alzheimer's.)
Yeah... I suppose I wasn't paying close enough attention to what you
were saying. :-)

Actually, I side with the kernel developers on this; the fact that
they're hiding the VMSPLIT options is basically a subtle hint that they
don't want people using them who don't *really* know what they're doing.

Sorry, but one thing remains unclear. Ignoring the fact that adding
embedded extras to your kernel on a non-embedded system just to get the
the VMSPLIT options is (in my opinion) confusing and unlogical, is this
step actually needed

What are the names of the config options that change the memory split?
I'm running gentoo-sources-2.6.17, and for the life of me, I can't find
any config option that deal with memory (and I know they existed: I've
set them before.)
Thanks.

Yea, What architecture are you running on? Is it possible that you
have some kind of memory interleaving option turned on in your bios
that isn't working right because of slight timing differences in the
manufacturing of each stick of ram? Are they exactly the same spec
(CAS,NS, etc..)? What's

Is that with x86 and 2.6.17? I had those config options with 2.6.16,
but they are not present in 2.6.17. Though looking at
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Kconfig I cannot see why the option was not
offered.
For whatever

Thanks David for the clear answers I'll investigate further. As for

have discovered to have an issue here.

Hi list,
Today I expended my RAM to 2GB (DDR) to my workstation, as apposed to
the initial 1GB I had. The RAm added is identical to the initial RAM.
Without changing the kernel (2.6.16.x) I still get 1GB available, and
