I recompiled both kernels with 'MAXMEM=(512*2014)'. I have also removed the BOUNCE_BUFFERS option from the kernel config since it seems this has caused problems for some. The situation is this: both machines boot normally, operate normally, and appear to be stable when under a normally operating load. However, according to /var/run/dmesg.boot, only 384M are detected by the system. In both cases the BIOS accurately detects two 256M DIMMS. Somewhere, 128M has been lots. Ideas?
