Title:
  [Lenovo E325] Odd variance in memory amounts available to system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Noticed this during certification of Precise on the E325
  (201106-8081).  The memory/info test failed in checkbox due to a large
  variance in the amount of memory installed according to BIOS (via DMI)
  and that available to the OS according to /proc.

  To see this, use the following:

  sudo /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/memory_compare

  Here's the output I noticed:
  ubuntu@201106-8081:~$ sudo /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/memory_compare 
  Meminfo total: 3639368 kB
  DMI total: 4096000 kB
  Accuracy: 88.00
  Memory totals not close enough
