Both the 3.3 Release Generic kernel and a fresh 3.3 stable kernel failed to probe the RAM correctly, and only found 64 Mb. A new kernel with MAXMEM set to 128*1024 found all the RAM and seems to be going fine. I thought this was no longer expected behaviour. Should I collect full details (BIOS version, dmesg, motherboard) and submit a full report? Or is this just normal? Eddie.
