Here is one from my laptop with 4GiB installed: e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000009f000-0x000000000009ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dd04d3ff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000dd04d400-0x00000000dd04f3ff] ACPI NVS BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000dd04f400-0x00000000dfffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000f8000000-0x00000000fbffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fed18000-0x00000000fed1bfff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fed20000-0x00000000fed8ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000feda0000-0x00000000feda5fff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee0ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000ffe60000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000011fffffff] usable The number 0x0000000100000000 is exactly the 4GiB memory border, the last line represents some amount of memory being remapped beyond that border to be accessible Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.
