Title: /proc/meminfo reports 6.7 GiB, while lshw reports 8 GiB, meminfo reports 1.3 GiB less than lshw, a difference of 16.27% Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have this laptop Acer Aspire E5-551G-T0KC http://www.acer.de/ac/de/DE/content/model/NX.MLEEG.009 It has 8 GiB memory. Meminfo system test fails with this message: "/proc/meminfo reports: 7024084.0 kB lshw reports: 8388608.0 kB FAIL: Meminfo reports 1397272576 bytes less than lshw, a difference of 16.27%. Only a variance of 10% in reported memory is allowed." I didn't test any other kernel because I don't know which version I should install. The system testing report is attached.
