[ubuntu] Detection of 4go RAM 32 bits Processor

$

Hi all,

I have 4 Go Ram but I can only see 3, in the BIOS I can see 4096 Ram...

I have the Ubunto 12.10 32 bits and I have read the following:

Code:

You misunderstand PAE. It allows you to access more REAL RAM (on the  motherboard). The 32-bit address space remains at 4 Gig - of which  (usually) 1 Gig is kernel reserved."
If Correct how I can see if how much RAM is reserved for de Kernel, and hence is normal to see only 3Go RAM?

Another problem....

After this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae sudo apt-get remove linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic
and
Code:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image
Code:

ii  linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic              3.5.0-17.28                              i386        Linux kernel image for version 3.5.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-3.5.0-19-generic              3.5.0-19.30                              i386        Linux kernel image for version 3.5.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-extra-3.5.0-17-generic        3.5.0-17.28                              i386        Linux kernel image for version 3.5.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-extra-3.5.0-19-generic        3.5.0-19.30                              i386        Linux kernel image for version 3.5.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-generic                      3.5.0.19.22                              i386        Generic Linux kernel image

well ok.... I Have found the following:

Code:

For permanent change you'll need to edit your /etc/default/grub file -- place a "#" symbol at the start of line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0.

Save changes and run sudo update-grub to apply changes.

But nothing appears....

I know that my processor is compatible with PAE because:
I have run a script and this the result

Code:

check-my-hardware.py - version: SJ 2009-12-21 OK, you're root ANALYSIS: Total of physical memory modules found 4096 MB in 2 memory module(s) [    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009f7ff] usable  [    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bf67ffff] usable  BIOS offers 6122 MB as usable Memory seen by OS 3021 MB BIOS version 08/12/2008 CPU is PAE enabled CPU is 32-bit, and not x86_64 enabled OS is 32-bit without PAE ADVICE: You're running a plain 32-bit OS on a 32-bit PAE-enabled CPU. Upgrade to the 32-bit kernel with PAE 'linux-generic-pae' to get access to more memory

Thanks for any suggestion!

Best regards.
