Hi, I have install 4Gb of ram on this HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show_all/pub_4d5ac78f-b263-4f95-a26d-5d248e5659
aa
The BIOS showed only 3Gb of RAM.
Then I have update the BIOS with last version released from HP.
Now the BIOS show correctly 4Gb of RAM, but Fedora10 x86_64 show only
3Gb of RAM (also smolt show 3Gb of RAM):
[root@lesca ~]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3093172 2771984 321188 0 1712 1549504
-/+ buffers/cache: 1220768 1872404
Swap: 6291448 93716 6197732
On this laptop I have test also Fedora9 with last kernel-PAE-x.x.x.i686
but also in this case the memori show is only 3Gb.
Some suggest?
Is a BIOS problem?
No, you need to turn on the PAE abilities in the kernel config and re-build &
re-install.
On an x86_64 system? x86_64 is supposed to work without PAE. Check
your BIOS.
Thanks for reply.
