Problem solved. This is one top output: 5:47pm up 21 min, 2 users, load average: 0.99, 0.70, 0.48 110 processes: 109 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU0 states: 0.1% user, 2.4% system, 0.0% nice, 96.4% idle CPU1 states: 0.1% user, 5.4% system, 0.0% nice, 93.5% idle Mem: 906424K av, 904296K used, 2128K free, 19808K shrd, 20956K buff Swap: 514040K av, 17176K used, 496864K free 710672K cached The system is using now 906MB rather than 1024, but at this time of the day I am quite happy comapred with the 64MB used before. Next step will be to go on 2.4.x Thanks Hello Folks, Environment: linux 2.2.16smp RedHat 7.0 I am setting up a system with 1GB RAM recongized by the BIOS during power-on procedure. This system having troubles, I set a top command and with surprise I got this status: 4:33pm up 4:42, 3 users, load average: 4.18, 2.01, 1.09 125 processes: 123 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU0 states: 9.1% user, 9.0% system, 8.0% nice, 80.1% idle CPU1 states: 20.0% user, 6.1% system, 20.1% nice, 72.0% idle Mem: 63892K av, 62480K used, 1412K free, 15076K shrd, 5192K buff Swap: 514040K av, 260556K used, 253484K free 11804K cached My problem are the 63892K I remember there is a solution to turn around this problem forcing LILO to configure 1GB saying, I think but not sure: append='memory=1024' I searched in the lilo doc for memory parameter definition, but as being coverd by append parameter I found nothing. Question 1: Do you have an idea about the reason Linux is using 64MB ? Question 2: Is this append command correct to turn out this problem ? Question 3: Where can I found informations about append variables wich are related in fact with modules parameters ? How to find on source code which module will read the memory parameter ? Thanks in advance.
