Hello List,
I observed a similar behaviour on my Sarge laptop (Inspiron 8200): I have 1GB ram but /proc/mening shows (only) 905136 kB and the Gnome system monitor 884 MB.
I have to say that my kernel is not 4GB enabled: so far I thought that 1GB was smaller that 4GB.
In fact, according to the help message provided by the kernel, 1GB is on the edge: so it is not so clear to me wether the kernel must be 4GB enabled.
There's something magic about that 905MB line - a 1GB RAM machine of ours showed that amount as total RAM when on a non-4GB and non-64GB kernel. Don't know why exactly it's 905MB, but that ties up with what I saw. It's not sharing with AGP memory, because my system didn't have that.
Once upgraded to a 4GB kernel, the full 1GB was visible.
Dave.
I am rebuilding my kernel with this option.
We will see, Jerome
