|    Slackware-stable detects all RAM; Slackw    |
|    30 Nov 25 04:49:28    |
      From: dchmelik@gmail.com              My new PC had 96 GB RAM and now has 128 GB. Slackware-stable detects it.       Slackware-current, and Slackware-current kernels on Slackware-stable,       partly don't, as below.              root@cosmos:~# free        total used free shared buff/cache       available       Mem: 72 68 1 0       4 4       Swap: 232 26 206       root@cosmos:~# inxi --memory-modules       Memory:        System RAM: total: 128 GiB available: 72.72 GiB used: 66.82 GiB (91.9%)        Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB note: est. slots: 4 modules: 2        EC: Multi-bit ECC        Device-1: Channel-A DIMM 1 type: DDR5 size: 64 GiB speed: 5600 MT/s        Device-2: Channel-B DIMM 1 type: DDR5 size: 64 GiB speed: 5600 MT/s              The ProcPS 'free' program doesn't show it all, but inxi and most/all other       hardware detection programs do. Didn't happen with Linux kernel v6.1 (on       Slackware-stable, Devuan) but happens by Linux kernel v6.12 and all       newer. The ProcPS people told me it's a kernel issue. If that's it (and       not just a possible defect in new hardware) how do I go about reporting       this to the Linux kernel itself without being told it's not enough       information. I said/asked all this in the official Slackware       (LinuxQuestions.org) forum and just got various output, but not       suggestions what to do next. If it's the memory controller on my brand-       new GigaByte Aorus X870 Xtreme AI Top, how do I find that out... or is it       okay to report to kernel then they can say how to check that?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
