[comp.sys.dec] adding memory to DECsystem 3100

berman@paul.rutgers.edu (Michael Berman) (08/23/90)

I have added 8 meg to my DECsystem 3100 (which is functionally
equivalent to a DECstation 3100, without a monitor).  The
power up test recognizes 16 meg; however, when I boot Ultrix,
only 12 meg shows up.  I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Make certain that in your configuration file that there is a line something
like:

physmem	16

Then rebuild your kernel, move it to / , then reboot. It will now accurately
reflect the memory you have available.
