- LinuxBios tell that the RAM is 127Mbye (and i had 256Mbyte)
That's the hard coded part.
What is the file to edit ....to have 256Mbyte?
Just as a reminder, this is the only hardware on linuxbios that you "patch a file" to get memory size, and we hope to fix this soon. The EPIA-M port is not a good example!
the question was not answered. i am interested in this too.
Maybe I am wrong, because I don't have an EPIA-M, or the datasheet of the northbridge.
There is code like this in freebios/src/northbridge/via/vt8623/raminit.inc:
CS_WRITE($0x5a, $0x08) CS_WRITE($0x5b, $0x08) CS_WRITE($0x5c, $0x08) CS_WRITE($0x5d, $0x08)
Change all the 0x08's to 0x10 for 256MB, 0x20 for 512MB, etc. If your DIMM is double-sided, halve the value of the first one.
Always test with memtest86 before running Linux, corrupt RAM configuration may damage your filesystem.
