Hi !
I have PC box with Core 2 Quad, P35 chipset and 4 GB of RAM (2+2 GB) with 32-bit OpenSuSE 10.3 and kernel-default installed. The most strangest part is that when I open BIOS everything is OK - it shows 4 GB of RAM. However, in Linux with stock "kernel-default" I see only 3.5 GB ! I suppose I do not need to install kernel-bigsmp or switch to 64-bit version of SuSE just to be able to use ALL 4 GB.
Here is a 32-bit suse machine with 4 GB - looks like you may want the bigsmp kernel root@freeside:~> free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4082748 3747028 335720 0 82816 3007352 -/+ buffers/cache: 656860 3425888 Swap: 4198296 8 4198288 root@freeside:~> uname -a Linux freeside 2.6.5-7.267-bigsmp #1 SMP Wed Jun 21 10:50:51 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux root@freeside:~> Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
