I noticed that my CentOS 6.5 system reports that I only have about 10.9 GiB of RAM when I actually have 16384M. I have already tried adding mem=xxM to the end of the kernel line in grub.conf. The result is the same. Any suggestions?

this is a 64bit system? where are you getting that memory report from, the `free` command ?

dmidecode -t 17 #should list all the memory DIMMs in the system.

I'd also watch the bootup messages (or review them with dmesg shortly after the system has started).

Yes, this is a 64-bit system.

dmidecode -t 17 #does list all the installed DIMMs

I was getting the information from cat /proc/meminfo

Thanks.
