I have an AST Adventure 400 (AMD K5 150mhz, 1.2gb hard disk, IDE CD-ROM,
Sound Blaster Compat. card, 16mb SDRAM) that I recently purchased 64mb
SDRAM dimm for. This was supposed to give me a total of 80mb of RAM, but
Linux seems to only see 64mb of it. During boot, The BIOS screen shows
all 80mb and identifies the two DIMM modules. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, I'm experiencing some odd problems. When I leave the machine up for
a few days (with or without the additional 64mb of RAM), the system
becomes very flaky. gcc segfaults when trying to compile the kernel,
/bin/login fails to run, I get kernel oopses like mad up to and including
complete system lock-ups. I contacted AMD thinking it may be related to
the bug they found in their CPU's, but this particular processor is a K5
and not a K6. I'm not sure what the problem is here. Anyone have any
thoughts on what I could check?
This kernel was compiled from a clean source tree running on a RedHat 4.2
distribution.
Thanks in advance.. Please CC replies to my address.
