When I install Centos 7, I see an "alert!" message flash by, too fast to read it. Is there a way to figure out what that message is/was (after install) or make it wait so I can actually read it?
thanks,
Ron
Hello,
I installed 72G ram in a Dell (it canhandle 72G according to Dell). The BIOS says there are 9 8G DIMMs install (BIOS test shows no errors). dmidecode says there are indeed 9 DIMMs, and they show all fine, no errors etc. However, free reports tehre's only 54G available.
So I (I am guessing) that alert message has something to do with ram/memory, but still wasn't able to actually read it since it disappears really quick.
Any ideas what the culprit here could be?
thanks,
Ron

What DIMM manufacture model number are the DIMMs? What “rank” are those models? What CPU is installed? How many CPUs? What model server/chipset? What slots were the DIMMs installed in? Higher rank DIMMs will usually show less/half size if installed in the same “channel” with lower rank in DIMMS before the higher rank DIMMs.
