Public bug reported:
Ok I have been having trouble getting Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit Server edition
to run well on these specs, So I tried Server Edition 8.10 64bit. While
this did run better I was only able to see a reduced amount of RAM.
Hardware is as follows:
MOBO: MSI G31M3-L
RAM: Kingston DDR2 4(2x2G)PC6400 800Mhz – KVR800D2N5K2/4G RAM
CPU: Intel ATX E8400 CORE 2 DUO /3.0GHz/6MB/1333FSB/LGA775
HD: 2 x Western Digital 320G SATAII 7200 rpm HDD(16Mb Cache)
DVD: LG H22NS30 SATA 22X+- Super Multi DVD Rewriter
dmesg gave this output. I will also attach the full dmesg out put. The
only other thing I can think of is the BIOS with 4 GB of RAM inserted
says there is actually 4864MB of RAM!!! This is most likely were the
issue lay I think.
