Subject: /proc/meminfo displays incorrect memory sizes
Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2001 18:52:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A7F3CD7.620AF808@voicenet.com> (raw)
I personally have no way of knowing if it's giving incorrect numbers for
cache and buffers and used and such .. but as for total memory,
something is wrong. lm sensors tells me i have 288MB of ram, the bootup
messages say i have 288MB of memory with 4MB being used by the kernel
and my bios says i have 288MB. /proc/meminfo, however, says i have
@167MB. Is this correct? and why ?
i'm using 2.2.19-pre7 I have agpgart and mtrr compiled in

anyone?
