I acquired a new motherboard and installed it. However, the 2-2-13 kernel I tried on it sees only 64M of RAM instead of the 128 which are present. I can compel it to see the whole memory by using the old method ("append mem=128M" at boot time), but I wonder why it does not see it automagically since the same linux system sees 128M on some other boards I have, without any append. The DFI motherboard is called K6BV3+/66, it's fitted with an AMD K6-2 500 MHz processor. The BIOS is Award and it correctly sees all 128M. There is a jumper on the motherboard for the DRAM clock, with two positions . I tried both positions but did not see any difference.
For a technical explanation look at: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/ramdetect.html It's everything to do with your BIOS... and there's nothing you can do but "men=128M" or wait for new kernels... Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.3 Kernel 2.2.13 KDE 1.1.2
