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? In any way I'll post the verbose boot logging here tonight/tomorrow when I get home from work. greetz, Mark --------------enig2E466772F6AD315AB16A736F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkqFFVgACgkQN9xNqOOVnWAWrQCgi5++wG/3JFWVe3knhxL7Xf8z j4YAmgNIAEz1EWq8TnET/vItrojEiSeC =T9pb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2E466772F6AD315AB16A736F--
