 |
|
Hello,
I'm running Gentoo on an Althlon 1.1 Ghz (32 bits), with 1.5 Go of RAM. This 1.5 Go is reported counted by the BIOS at bootup so all my memory is valide for me.
But why :
| Code: | laurent@chose ~ $ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 902476 kB
MemFree: 534368 kB
Buffers: 12340 kB
Cached: 120828 kB
SwapCached: 0 kB |
As far I remember, I had the same beaviour when still with a 2.6 kernel.
Bye
Laurent

| Code: | # CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set

32bits kernel let you pick 3 choices for memory, 0-1G, 1-4G, 4G+ PAE
Make sure you pickup 1-4G option |
