I actually made a typo...
Gentoo reports 3.9GiB (bad type I know)
My memory is fine. It's been running very, very stable for over 2 years.
I've been searching the net, and I think Kostik is right, it's just a
"cosmetic" info message in early boot, but still, sloppy...
So I will do the verbose boot and post dmesg here. I do think it is
strange that it states that I have the exact amount of 2 Gibibyte of
"real memory" in dmesg.
Could it be a limitation of my motherboard driver?
I can't imagine it's like this on all amd64 systems... Someone might
have said something right?
In any way I'll post the verbose boot logging here tonight/tomorrow when
I get home from work.
greetz,
Mark
