Since the Opteron memory controller is integral to the CPU, is this a fundamental problem with 244s or could it still be in the BIOS?
Do a head -30 /var/log/boot.msg The kernel prints the e820 memory map supplied by the BIOS at the beginning. If the memory is included there (and marked usable) it could be an OS problem. If not it's definitely BIOS.
Has anybody with a K8W updated to the 2885101i BIOS beta revision? Does it do any of the things it purports to fix: * Add DDR400 display support. * Add AMD Errata 86 fix * Open HT frequency options * Update CPU module to fix the CPU APIC Version error * Replace IORR with MTRR for AGP Aperture memory
This fix together with the latest update kernel should increase stability with a lot of RAM. -Andi
