RAM puzzle

[Ivan Glushkov <glushkov@mail.desy.de>]

Hi all,

recently I bought 2 x 1 GB modules 1024MB SO-DIMM OCZ PC400 CL2.5. I 
plugged them into my Debian Asus M6726NW laptop. I was surprised to see 
that on /proc/meminfo I have only:

MemTotal:       906692 kB

VmallocTotal:   122840 kB

VmallocChunk:   109012 kB

Looking at lshw I have:

id:	
memory
description: 	System Memory
physical id: 	
1b
slot: 	System board or motherboard
size: 	2GB
capacity: 	3GB

So, what do you think is the problem? Are my new RAM modules 
malfunctioning, or is that some software problem? In both cases, how 
lshw sees the right amount of memory, but the kernel does not?!

	Cheers,
