Subject: 4Gb ram not showing up
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:14:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46642C60.209@spatial.ca> (raw)
Hi everyone.
I am having some difficulty trying to get my 4Gb of ram recognized by
the system. I have tried googling around to get some information on how
to do this configuration, but I have come up dry. I suspect that the
reason that there is not much info on how to set things up is because
usually it just works. However, on my system I don't think it is.
By the way, I am not subscribed to this mailing list, so could you
please CC me any replies.
The basics are that I have an Athlon 64 X2 Dual core, 4Gb ram, ASUS
M2N-MX motherboard. The bios has a configuration item for MTRR mapping,
with options for CONTINUOUS and DISCRETE. I have selected CONTINUOUS,
which explicitly describes the PCI hole as non-cacheable. The other
option leaves the PCI hole undescribed.
My config has selected
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
free -m reports the following....
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2906 2794 112 0 275 31
-/+ buffers/cache: 2487 419
Swap: 4996 366 4630
/proc/mtrr contains the following....
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=4096MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1
Relevant bootup messages include these....

Any suggestions as to what I can try to get all 4Gb of ram to show up?
Thanks,
