Gentoo reports 3.9GiB (bad type I know) My memory is fine. It's been running very, very stable for over 2 years. I've been searching the net, and I think Kostik is right, it's just a "cosmetic" info message in early boot, but still, sloppy... So I will do the verbose boot and post dmesg here. I do think it is strange that it states that I have the exact amount of 2 Gibibyte of "real memory" in dmesg. Could it be a limitation of my motherboard driver? I can't imagine it's like this on all amd64 systems... Someone might have said something right?

Value reported on the "available memory" line is the actual amount of memory kernel detected and is going to use. "Real memory" value is used only to display that "real memory" line.
