Ubuntu 9.1 Only Sees 244 MB RAM, while BIOS and Windows Sees 1.5 GB
- by nicorellius
I have 1.5 GB of RAM installed on an older Dell, Pentium 4. I just installed Ubuntu 9.1 and the system is only seeing 244 MB of RAM, even though there is 1.5 GB on the system. The BIOS sees all of it. I ran a Knoppix disc and it only saw 25 MB upon booting.
I made no particular changes to the installation taht would affect this. I looked through the BIOS and the only setting I could see was the AGP aperture. Not even sure what this is.
Anyone know where I went wrong?
I also tried moving the memory modules around on the board. Booted with the 1 GB stick, still saw 244 MB.
