[Bug 1321938] Re: [Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 (rev. 3.0)] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS lshw sees 12gb RAM but system only using 8gb
Hi Christopher,
I'm a bit confused. Don't you mean a reporting discrepancy between
'lshw' vs. '/proc' and procps tools like 'free'. BOTH 'free' and 'cat
/proc/meminfo' show the WRONG info, whereas 'lshw' shows the correct
info.
Just to be clear, I'm rather confident that this is not a reporting
issue, but an actually failure of the kernel to detect and use all 12GB
at boot.
Line 182 of 'dmesg' reads:
[ 0.000000] Memory: 8137408k/9699328k available (6591k kernel code,
1334588k absent, 227332k reserved, 6614k data, 924k init)
I've attached the first 250 lines of 'dmesg' to this post, for context,
should you need it.
So, given this, I presume you nevertheless would like me to try the
upstream kernel, correct?
Thanks,
Doug

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:
