Hello,

I am running Slakware 3.3 with 2.0.30 kernel on a Pentium II 233
mhz with 128mb RAM. The problem is that the system is only seeing 64mb RAM
but the bios will see 128. Is there any patches out there to fix the
problem? Are there any patches that are specificly for the Pentium II
processors?

Here is the memory info I get running "free"

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 63272 62316 956 14476 41048 8448
-/+ buffers: 12820 50452
Swap: 0 0 0

here is some info using "top"

CPU states: 0.3% user, 0.1% system, 0.5% nice, 99.5% idle
Mem: 63272K av, 62032K used, 1240K free, 13568K shrd, 41032K buff
Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 8452K cached

I'm not sure if it really is using the memory but not showing it or if it
really not seeing it at all... weird! ;)

thanks.
