I run Linux on a Compaq Presario 8702 that I've had for a coupla years.
I've had Linux on it for around 6 months and it's a tribute to either
Linux's superior memory managment or my own ignorance of how well a system
should run under anything other than Win that I didn't notice this before
but...
While the BIOS recognizes that I have 58m of RAM, Linux only sees 14m of
it. Someone suggested that this was a "memory hole" found in some Compaqs
and that it could be turned off in the BIOS but no luck. I've searched
Metacrawler, linux.org, etc to no avail. If anyone knows a workaround for
this, it would be greatly appreciated.
If it's of interest, though, the only reason I'd even done a 'top' and
checked in the first place was that when I had Apache, Named, smbd, pppd,
xdm, olvwm, three xterms and Netscape open, it "started running pretty
slow"... with 14m of ram and a 24m swap. =:)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
