8G memory showing up as 3365148 KB

[Baird, Josh]

This is most likely because you are not running a PAE kernel.  You have
two options here

 

1.      Run a PAE kernel which will give the kernel the ability to
recognize more than the 3.4GB of RAM.

2.      Run a 64bit kernel which has native support for > 3.4GB of RAM.

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

Hello all,

I have a PE 2950 (with 8G memory) running centos 5.1. cat /proc/meminfo
shows:

I'm wondering where all the free memory goes. I checked the bois
settings with the Dell technition (as dset shows 8G) and that's all
fine. Any ideas?
