I have a netbook (Acer Aspire One A110L) and installed a 1GB DDR2 in the |
| 2 |
available slot, for a total of 1.5GB or RAM. |
| 3 |
The BIOS reports it as 1.5GB and so does grml linux (booting from usb), |
| 4 |
but the installed gentoo linux reports only 904600 kB: |

I suspect it has to do with my kernel (2.6.32-gentoo-r1) configuration, |
| 50 |
but do not know where to look. |

Any suggestions ? |
