Hi Thanks for your time on this....

here is what dmesg says....

[root at OHIO root]#
[root at OHIO root]# dmesg
>Buffer cache hash table entries: 16384 (order: 4, 64 KB)
Memory: 250236k/262016k available (1716k kernel code, 9352k reserved, 1302k
data, 228k init, 0k highmem)
Mount cache hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 8K

I suppose POST didn't show 2 gigs RAM.....


and here is what /rpoc/meminfo

[root at OHIO root]# cat /proc/meminfo
