Re: Over 2.5 GB ram problem



Do you share memory with the graphics?

PS:
Just for the record, some voodoo I experience.

What ever distro I use, I'm always missing 256 MiB.

$ hwinfo --memory | grep Si
  Memory Size: 3 GB + 512 MB
$ uname -m
x86_64

My RAMs are all ok, 4 GiB are installed - 256 Mib framebuffer = 256 MiB
missing.

A wild guess, since with older kernels my sound card and the graphics
share the same IRQ, for newer kernels the graphics has got another IRQ,
it might be related to the missing RAM and a bug might duplicate the
framebuffer size.

FWIW memtest from Debian and Ubuntu says my RAM is broken, memetest,
same version, not from Debian and Ubuntu says my RAM is ok and I don't
have any issues when using my computer.
