Hi Christopher, I'm a bit confused. Don't you mean a reporting discrepancy between 'lshw' vs. '/proc' and procps tools like 'free'. BOTH 'free' and 'cat /proc/meminfo' show the WRONG info, whereas 'lshw' shows the correct info.
Just to be clear, I'm rather confident that this is not a reporting issue, but an actually failure of the kernel to detect and use all 12GB at boot. Line 182 of 'dmesg' reads: [ 0.000000] Memory: 8137408k/9699328k available (6591k kernel code, 1334588k absent, 227332k reserved, 6614k data, 924k init) I've attached the first 250 lines of 'dmesg' to this post, for context, should you need it. So, given this, I presume you nevertheless would like me to try the upstream kernel, correct?
