Re: added RAM, RAM not recognized by debian



Ron,

Thanks, you are correct. Guess I'll make the move to a new kernel
image.

Just switched a processor on a system, went fine, but added an
additional gig of ram and debian doesn't seem to see it.

It shows up in the BIOS. Googled a bit and added "mem=2048M" to the
kernal
line in /boot/grub/grub.conf. Didn't work. Still just shows a gig (the
original memory). cat /proc/meminfo doesn't show it, nor does top,
vmstat, etc.

Don't wanna get flamed, but am running unstable 2.4.27 woody right now
and don't want to reinstall if I don't need to. Just want to get this
memory recognized.

Your kernel probably is not configured to recognize more than 1GB.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
