I'm having a TYAN board with two AMD Opteron 248 and 4x 1GB ECC RAM on it. = The=20 BIOS reflects what I've plugged in, however, the operating system does not. my `uname -a` output is: Linux battousai 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Sat May 14 02:42:15 CEST 2005 x86_6= 4=20 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux and my `dmidecode` output is located at [0]. For ANY reason, dmidecode even= =20 knows about my 4GB RAM, but `free -m` nor `kinfocenter` of KDE claims to se= e=20 just 3GB. free -m: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3015 2993 22 0 15 2638 =2D/+ buffers/cache: 338 2677 Swap: 511 1 510 This is rather sad to see 1GB RAM plugged in for nothing. Has anyone a hint for my WHY this is happening and HOW I could get rid of i= t? Thanks in advance, Christian Parpart.
