Len, you were right about it being an LPAR. Previously I was

What was on this machine before? Is it possible that you are in fact

With 3 Gb assigned to LPAR (p7) it looks correct:
gasha@power:~$ dmesg | grep Memory [ 0.00] physicalMemorySize =
0xc000 [ 0.00] Node 0 Memory: 0x0-0xc000 [ 0.00] Memory:
2811776K/3145728K available (7360K kernel code, 1792K rwdata, 1840K
rodata, 960K init, 2071K bss, 33395
It is 64-bit kernel?
$ uname -a
$ lscpu
I think that i never tried more than 1 Gb RAM for test linux, because
development AIX needs more RAM...
Should try that on P7 or P8.
