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?
Is this a Dell or other major server vendor system that happens to have memory sparing turned on in the BIOS? I assume that other major server vendors do something like this as well where they save one dimm per bank in case of a dimm failure, the faulty one is switched out for the spare.
