4gb memory in Slackware64
I have an older machine with 4gb of memory installed.
I'm using Slack64 generic updated last night from current. When I looked at config theres no mention of config_highmem so I'm thinking that Slackware64 should see the 4gb. ... and if it doesn't then the problem may well be hardware... Is this correct or have I missed something? mudherm |
highmem is a hack to get more than 4GB (or even 4GB) for 32-bit systems, on a 64-bit system this option does not exist. 4GB should be seen by the system, unless there's some type of BIOS limit.

Do a cat /proc/meminfo or free -m to see. :)

I thought so... and I don't have a monitor connected to that PC. In fact I don't have anything but power and a network cable.... :(
Thanks for the help..! |
Hrmm, well if you enabled ssh you can simply login remotely. Or briefly connect the monitor back to that particular machine. Hrmm, a KVM-switch sounds very useful in a case like this... ;)

the machine works great, ssh.. et al'
Infact I've been using it from work but I'm only seeing 2gb of memory not the 4. I didn't want to try anything too fancy with the pacific ocean between me and the physical box but it looks like I'll have to plug stuff into it. Youre right about a kvm but once I get this sorted I wont need it. I could always use a soft keyboard sharing program but that won't help in this case. I'll live with the 2gb for now. cheers Paul. |
