Hello List,
I have a HP DL360 G4 with 2GB ECC RAM and a P4-Xeon with 3 GHz. I installed Debian Sarge netinst on this machine and after examining the system i found out that top only shows 906MB RAM, even /proc/meminfo shows only 906MB. I tried this with both the 2.4 (kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386) and 2.6 (kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386) Kernels. After that I ran memtestx86 to see if I had malicious Memory, but it showed the full 2GB and it ran a whole day without showing any errors.
I would suggest using kernel-image.2.4.27-1-686-smp or kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp for your particular machine.
It will enable the HyperThreading on your XEON processor, as well as support all of your RAM.
Are the -smp kernels configured for 4GB? I was under the impression that none of the stock Debian kernels were configured for 4GB.
