[2.] Full description of the problem/report: I have Linux Kernel 2.4.31 running on a Compaq 5000R server with 2 PPro 200 processors, 768M RAM, RealTeck 8139 Network Card, and Compaq Smart 2 Raid controller with 5 9.1G drives in Raid 5 configuration. The kernel appears to compile perfectly, installs fine, but after reboot it is only reporting 16M of RAM. I have tried with and without the mem=768M boot up option in the lilo.conf script. All other modules and boot up includes appear to run perfectly fine. I had a 2.4.18 kernel running on this box just fine, detected all 768M of RAM and ran perfectly. The 2.4.31 Kernel runs almost perfectly, the only hold back is the false detection of memory. [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): kernel [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): Linux version 2.4.31 (root@tunes) (gcc version 3.3.4) #3 SMP Sun Aug 21 10:34:35 EDT 2005 [5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt) [6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the problem (if possible) N/A [7.] Environment [7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here) If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
