I have two 16 Mb Ram chips in my Raq2, which the BIOS recognizes and the=20
kernel sees:
# dmesg | egrep -i mem
32768 KB memory, 28144 KB free, 1740 KB in 435 buffers
pci0: i/o space, memory space enabled, rd/line, wr/inv ok
But top and vmstat report approximately half that as being available:
# vmstat
procs memory page disk faults cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr w0 in sy cs us sy id
0 0 0 13480 4640 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 201 13 2 0 0 100
from top:
Memory: 13M Act, 8516K Inact, 140K Wired, 5060K Exec, 13M File, 4520K Fre=
e
I know, RAM is cheap, but this box doesn't really need to do much, so buy=
ing=20
more RAM probably isn't going to happen. This isn't a big deal, more cur=
ious=20
than anything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
