Found a thread on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814133&highlight=can%27t+find+all+ram&page=4 where there is a guy having the same (i think) problem as I. The funny thing is that when i run dmidecode I get the following answere: Handle 0x0005, DMI type 5, 20 bytes Memory Controller...

After a tip in a Swedish Ubuntu forum about trying *BSD to see if it's a kernel bug I googled the problem again. I then found the following: http://www.geocities.com/rlcomp_1999/memory.html#METHOD2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/not-enough-ram-31594/ So now I know this is a c...

OK, here is the result: I removed the original 64MB and inserted the 256MB. BIOS told me 256MB, but Grub started and told me 0kB RAM. I removed both, but forgot to look for wath BIOS sad, Grub says 0kB. Only original 64Mb, BIOS says 64Mb and Grub/Linux tells me 64MB ( or 60800 kB wich not i 64MB) An...

I would go into the setup and see if there is something like a fast or slow boot option. The slow boot option if it exists would likely slowly count RAM 3 times over. I can't change allmost anything in BIOS!! Only time/date, com/lpt, ACPI, Large Disk Mode, Password and Boot order. Thats all. I have...

Answere is: MemTotal: 60800 kB

The question is still the same and unanswered , irrespective of your method. If you don't want to answer questions, I can't do anything about that, except point it out. I'm sorry I thougt you sade that HardInfo gave the same answere, and the answere is 64MB. :oops: I now think the the command you a...

[I note the memory is only upgradable to 192Mb http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00256102&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=95227&lang=en and also that Compaqs of that vintage were notorious for not liking any other accesory other than a Compaq one :P In this case th...

Does anyone know what to do?

(BUMP)

I don't know how you are measuring total RAM, but the command below will tell you how much Linux sees. < /proc/meminfo head -n 1 I'd hope to know what the command produces, if you don't mind. meminfo is a 0 byte file. I have tried to exekute the kommand, but I either gets meminfo dosn't exists or a...

Try http://www.memtest86.com/ and see whether it sees it. What are the details of your machine?? It is Memtest86 that I used to test the memory with. Memory is OK. But to find all memory I have to chose (c)Config, (3) Memory, and (3) Probe otherwise it only finds 64MB, that is waht is built in. Det...

Hi, I have a problem. I have just upgraded my old laptop with a 256MB SODIMM, but in Puppy it still says that I ony have 64MB. If I enter BIOS it says 319MB, and if I use a memorytesting rpogram it finds all memory if I force it to probe the amount. And the memory pass 1,5 hour stresstest. If I in t...

I have no problems working without the mouse...

The free space is in the begining of sda4.

Hi!! I would like some help hwo to make the swap partiotion bigger. At this time my hdd looks like this: sda1 1,5 GB (Windiows partition) sda2 1,5 GB ext2 Puppy sda3 64MB SWAP sda4 1,5GB fat32 (files) I have succesfully reduced the siza of sda4 so I now have extra 64mb free space, and want to add it...

Nothing helps!!! :x I now think it is something wrong with the loaded modules. I am trying to prevent the ndiswrapper to load at startup and use onother mudules, but ndiswrapper loads any way when i try to use iwconfig. I hace probably fucked up everything. So I will format and reinstall the newest ...

Signal strength is not very good, but ok. 55-60% I just realised my assumption about the strength due to the signal on the two other units was a bit stupid. Off course the signal can be weaker on the wg111 than on the two other. It’s the cheapest USB-card on the market, and probably not the best! I ...

Of course yout right about the original wg111. 10 minutes before i wrote this i found an old page where you could download that driver. But I was tired and didn't think.

But thank you for the thread about the pet that enables the B version of the chip. I will try that out now!

Tank you for trying to help me.. 1) Signal must be ok. I have two laptop next to each other, and one smartphone using the same Wifi. The secon one is a XP wich I am writing this on, and ther is never any problem with signal 2) I will try to size up the swap partion later to day and se. It's allready...

Hi, Today I finally got my WiFi USB dongle wg311v3 working in Puppy 4.1.2. I had to force Puppy to load ndiswrapper at startup to get it working. Don't know why it didn't do it after I run the Network Wizard, but that's not the question. After about 5 minutes of excellent web surfing it stops workin...

I've just got my wg111v3 working. I had tried it before a hundred times it feels like, without success. Found this tread and to my dissapointment I allready treid it all. But tonight i treid a diffrent thing and I got it working. I had to force Puppy to load the ndiswrapper to load at startup to get...
