| 11:50 stockholm | i had to interrupt a softupdate and now it tells me (when i try to run it again) that a softupdate is currently running. |
| 11:50 stockholm | where is the lockfile? |

| 14:45 mcarvalh | glance: The problem is that MemTotal is not showing me all my RAM. Not sure why. |
| 14:46 mcarvalh | ((`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk '{print $2}'`/1024)) = 885MB, when the machine should have somewhere around 4GB. |

| 14:55 Mrfai | I guess you are using a kernel that only supports 1GB. have a look at dmesg output |
| 14:55 mcarvalh | ya, dmesg shows the same amount of ram |
| 14:55 mcarvalh | im using vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-486 |
| 14:57 mcarvalh | and now i just tested another box using vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64, and that in fact shows all the RAM the machine has |
| 14:57 mcarvalh | i imagine i need to use a 32-bit kernel to build a 32-bit box, and 64-bit for 64, correct? |
| 14:57 Mrfai | yep |

| 15:09 rgsteele||work | You could use a 64 bit kernel and still have 32 bit userland. |
| 15:10 rgsteele||work | But you need two separate nfsroot's |
| 15:10 rgsteele||work | At least, as far as I understand it. |
| 15:11 Mrfai | that's also true |
| 15:12 mcarvalh | u may be right |
| 15:12 mcarvalh | i wonder why fai-setup always generates a 486 boot kernel nad not a 686 boot kernel |
| 15:16 Mrfai | you have to add the 686 kernel in /etc/fai/NFSROOT |
| 15:17 mcarvalh | o, ok. thanks! |

| 15:48 mcarvalh | sweet, using a 686 kernel did solve my RAM issue |

| 18:33 glance | mcarvalh: if MemTotal doesn't say the corect value its your kernel that can't handle the correct value. |
| 20:27 mcarvalh | ya, i figured that out. Im using a 686 kernel instead of the 486, and now memtotal reports correctly |
