Only 128mb RAM ?

[Ralfk]

Hi there,

today I've recieved my raspberry-pi
So I've put ARCH-linux(the image from 29-04-2012) on it, so far everthing is working fine, but it seems my device has only 128mb RAM or is there some configuration I have to change?(using the pi as a server I don't need my grafic-chip so there doesn't need to be any memory reserved for it)

Code: Select all

 cat /proc/meminfo 
MemTotal:         125004 kB

I don't know if that helps to identify the chip which is on?

Code: Select all

 cat /proc/cpuinfo 
Processor	: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)

I would be glad if somebody can point me in the right direction.

Hi Ralf,

If you look at the following link: http://elinux.org/RPi_Advanced_Setup then you will find all the information you need.

In short, to change the split of the RAM between CPU/GPU you need to choose an appropriate start.elf

The options that are available are listed in the section "setting up the boot partition".

thank you very much, that I could have found myself
