   Slackware-stable detects all RAM; Slackw

   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.

   available   
   Mem:              72          68           1           0

   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?
