2Gb Memory lost on SL 5.2

[Salamanka A. Serge]

Dear SL users and developers,

You might have encountered such a problem before:

On SL5.2 server 4 Gb ROM (2 slots 2Gb each)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# free

In /var/log/messages I can see only these lines with the word "memory":


Oct  2 16:19:34 xeon3 kernel: Non-volatile memory driver v1.2

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# uname -a


Does anyone have any ideas what could be the reason for such a memory lost ?

Thank you
Serge

After reboot the memory of 4 Gb is available for the OS. But after some time 2 Gb are disappearing and only the other 2Gb are left for usage.
