Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello everyone! I'm new to this mailinglist so please tellme if you think i'm "out of topoic". I've have trouble with the following issue: On two x86 machines, one AMD k62 and a Pentium the Bios dont wont to detect properly a 512 MB PC133 DIMM, the K62 based it dont detect it at all, and on the PII it detect it as a 128MB DIMM. I suspect that's the BIOS that "sucks", not the HW, i supose that the HW is capable to deal with 512MB DIMM's, so my question to you "kernel-gurus", is there any posibility to configure the Linux kernel to bypass the BIOS and actually use my 512MB ? Thanks! /Benny - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
