Please help: confusing dmesg messages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

 I got a few centos 5 boxes installed for tests and
find the following confusing messages from ?dmesg?
command:

?
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Memory: 4043392k/5242880k available (2397k kernel
code, 150460k reserved, 1222k data, 196k init)
?

The machine has only 4GB memory chips installed only,
so where comes the number ?5242880k? for memory?

[root@centos5Cli01 ~]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i
total
MemTotal:      4045132 kB
HighTotal:           0 kB
LowTotal:      4045132 kB
SwapTotal:    15999252 kB
VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB
HugePages_Total:     0
[root@centos5Cli01 ~]#
