Hello,
I have a Tyan 2880 with dual 244s running 2.4.21-60-smp, with 8.2b9. It
has 6GB of memory installed. Meminfo (including top) is reporting:
linux:~ # cat /proc/meminfo

Since installing memory about 4GB I have to boot with iommu=force. Also,
the machine hung after being up for two days without any error (that I
have been able to find so far). The BIOS version is 2.02 (latest).

Any ideas on what is happening with the memory and how I can fix/take
care of the reporting error? I think that it may be related to the hang
as the machine was stable for 6mths+ with 4GB of RAM.

Thanks,

Santiago
