Subject: mem=options changed in 2.6.x?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 16:28:35 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44574.64.25.5.177.1080768515.squirrel@webmail.thebrittinggroup.com> (raw)

I have a Compaq Proliant 5000 with 320Mb RAM.

If I boot up either linux 2.4.22 or 2.6.4, it only identifies 12Mb of memory.

With 2.4.22, the kernel parameters "mem=exactmap mem=640k@0M mem=319M@1M"
worked to make the kernel identify all of the memory.

I have tried the same with linux 2.6.4, but with the above flags the
kernel will not boot.  With "mem=320M", the system boots, but it still
thinks it has only 12Mb RAM.

Something I'm missing or did this change between releases?

Thanks in advance,
