Hello All, I noticed that my CentOS 6.5 system reports that I only have about 10.9 GiB of RAM when I actually have 16384M. I have already tried adding mem=xxM to the end of the kernel line in grub.conf. The result is the same. Any suggestions? Joe

Any suggestions?this is a 64bit system? where are you getting that memory report from, the `free` command ? dmidecode -t 17 #should list all the memory DIMMs in the system. I'd also watch the bootup messages (or review them with dmesg shortly after the system has started). -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast

I assume that other major server vendors do something like this as well where they save one dimm per bank in case of a dimm failure, the faulty one is switched out for the spare. Barry
