My system has 2GB of DDR 400 RAM installed but top only reports that 904,136KB is present.... The BIOS reports that 2048MB is present...


Code:

top - 04:05:23 up 4 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
Tasks:  25 total,   1 running,  24 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):   0.2% user,   5.0% system,   0.0% nice,  94.8% idle
Mem:    904136k total,    22432k used,   881704k free,     1344k buffers

Did you enable High Memory Support under Processor type and features in your kernel?

It looks like High Memory Support needs to be enabled in the kernel.

Recompiling now...
