From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020924 Description of problem: In the memory information tab of guname the total memory size is reported incorrectly. It reports 904324k when it should report 1048576k (1GB). I dont believe there to be any bios problem causing this because windows XP reports the system memory to be 1gb as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot computer into gnome 2.open guname (system information) 3.click detailed information 4.open memory information tab Actual Results: the reported value for total memory is 904324k Expected Results: the reported value for total memory is 1048576k (1GB) Additional info: the bug has occured when using both your default shipping kernel, your updated kernel and my own 2.4.19 custom kernel, so I don't think its a kernel problem either, but I'll let you be the judge of that. More hardware info if u require it: - motherboard: asus a7v333 chipset: VIA KT333 ram: 2 x 512 mb samsung pc2700 ddr (not overclocked)
What RAM do you have if you look at the file /proc/meminfo? I think this may just be that guname reports memory available to userspace (subtracts memory used by the kernel), or something like that. If guname shows the same as /proc/meminfo I think it's not a bug, just the way linux reports available ram.
