Try running this command from the shell prompt, logged in as root:

RAM

It will ask you if the amount of memory you currently have is correct. Answer n, and it will ask you how much you really have.

You'll have to reboot to get the OS to pick up the changes.

We have found that Linux has a problem finding the memory in some hardware configurations.

Also, you can specify how much memory you have at the Linux boot prompt. When you reboot your NetMAX machine, you should get the Linux boot prompt for 30 seconds at the console. At this prompt type:

linux mem=###M

Where ### is the amount of memory in megabytes. For example, if you have 128M of memory, and the machine is only recognizing 64M, you would type:

linux mem=128M
