Hi,
When I set linux 2.6.26-rc1 as default kernel to boot in
/etc/yaboot.conf, then the device tree in open firmware shows only one
memory node ( the same memory node appears in /proc/device-tree/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
). But when RHEL5.2 kernel is set as default in /etc/yaboot.conf then
the device tree in open firmware shows plenty of memory nodes. Following
is the open firmware output..
linux-2.6.26-rc1:

The open firmware environment variable "ibm,fw-new-mem-def" is false for
rhel5.2 kernel where as it is 'true' for 2.6.26-rc1 as default kernel to
boot. Any inputs if the one memory node in 2.6.26-rc1 should show the
size of available system memory ?, or there should be many memory nodes
for 2.6.26-rc1 ?.
Thanks,
Chandru
