I never saw this one before...
Booting the linux workstation I'm messing with, it goes through the normal
POST stuff fine, as far as I can see. There's 48M of ram in there, 2 16s
and 2 8s, and I suspect the 8s have a problem as the system acted up a bit
when I had them in there with 4s before I got the 16s.
Anyhow, booting the system gives a whole pile of messages, typical of
linux, and up near the top are these:
BIOS-provided physical ram map:
BIOS-e820: 0009fc00 {at} 00000000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000400 {at} 0009fc00 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 02f00000 {at} 00100000 (usable)
I'm guessing that the first number refers to the size of the available
block of ram, and the second one to the address. Anybody ever seen these
before?
I just tested some sticks I had around here, and will no doubt be pulling
those 8s and trying something else in there shortly...
