RE: [SLE] recounting RAM memory when rebooting (Linux is not likeWindows)
A "warm boot" is a reboot of your PC, usually called by the installed O/S, or by hitting the Reset button (if you have one), that bypasses POST testing. This is, if I am not mistaken, why you are not seeing it count RAM. Disabling this does not make your OS better and has nothing at all to do with the OS. The best way I know of to keep your system from counting RAM at power-on is to just pull the RAM and throw it away, then you wont have to worry about it any more. Sort of that, just sit back, let it count, and enjoy.

Hi ALL, This is ENTIRELY HARDWARE. The motherboard bios (h/w) does an initial memory check upon a power-on event or a reset-button event. Most bios options have a 'quick-boot' option usually on the second page of bios options. Some OS's will issue a 'reset-event' reboot as a way for the OP Sys pgmr to be absolutely sure his system re-starts 'clean'. This is also knows as POST == Power-On Self Test. A warm re-boot does NOT issue the reset but does boot the OPSYS chosen. Usually a warn boot is caused by a C-A-D or Ctrl - Alt - Delete key combo. My experiance is that on AMI bios PCs even when the bios is set to "Quick Boot" on, the memory count is done but not displayed on screen; but you can time it yourself to see if your sys bios works that way.

So, it was about this I was talking about. Is there a way to make my digital vassal —my pc and his OS, SuSE 8.0— restarting with a "warm boot"? thanks for helping, Jesse a. Purdom, Jesse escreveu:

I'm still curious: how often are you rebooting the machine? If it is "more than once per 'session' *", I have to ask, "why?" (*: 'session' being defined as "from the time you turn power on, sit down and do work, finish, and turn the power off") I leave my system on 24x7 [but that's me] and since I live alone, not only do I not "reboot" for several days at a time, I don't even log out/log in again [very little danger of "someone" sitting down at my logged-in terminal and "doing something untoward..."]
