Thanks for all your help, I ve worked this out. The motherboard I use is a PC Chips SIS 730S M810LR-H, and uses *shared* memory for built in video card, i.e. uses the physical ram for video memory. This is where 64MB of the RAM went to. Minor changes to the bios fixed the problem Thanks You w

>From what I have read this is not uncommon for Linux not to detect all physical memory, and sometimes this is resolved by passing the 'mem' parm to the kernel on bootup. But all the documentation I've seen is for lilo, but I'm using grub. So how do I do this with grub? Put it in /etc/grub.conf?

On the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf add "mem=192M" . Be sure to remember the M or it will be k, or megs. Also you may need to do slightly less than 192. PS- Remember you can edit the grub configuration at the grub prompt. Just hit e. Darryl Bowler wrote: >I still haven't fixed my pro

Re: Memory is not detected correctly

2002-09-11 Thread Sam Ockman
No ideas, but lots of questions. What motherboard (and what chipset is used)? Does your BIOS tell you that it recognizes all 192MB? Did a previous kernel or version of Linux? If you dual boot into (gasp) a legacy operating system like Windows XP, does it recognize all 192MB? -Sam On Wed, Sep
