["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doug Morse, this would appear to be a reporting issue of the proc file system displaying the wrong information, verus the reporting tools from procps reporting against proc (ex. free). Hence, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 (rev. 3.0)] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS lshw sees 12gb RAM
  but system only using 8gb

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Gigabyte replaced my dead GA-870A-UD3 motherboard with a GA-970A-UD3. However, "free" and cat /proc/meminfo only show 8GB of RAM:
  cat /proc/meminfo
  MemTotal:        8155016 kB
  MemFree:          253264 kB
  ...

  However, lshw does see all 12gb:
  lshw | grep -m 1 -A 50 "*-memory"
