Porteus

Posted: **15 Nov 2019, 10:46**

I am having problems with the RAM memory , I have 8gb of ram however all the system sees is 873mb if I activate Firefox I am left with 75mb I cannot make any downloads because Firefox crashes if I use the save as option. The kernel is supposed to hsve PAE as per .config but for reasons unknown it doesn't work I have tried compiling the neko kernel but with the memory I have available won't work.

Any one else having problems with this processor?

Thanks

Hi ralcocer.
Any reason don't use x86_64 kernel version?

Posted: **15 Nov 2019, 12:20**

I do a lot of 3d printing and all my programs are compiled for 32 bit and I am too old to start compiling everything from scratch I tried the 64 bit already.
The only installation I have been able to load with this processor are debianlive tretch 64 bit and porteus everything else is just scrambled video.
I think a purchased the wrong processor.

With CPU all is ok.

I think that you must to update firmware of your motherboard.
As root run and check product name of your motherboard and his BIOS version

Code: Select all

dmidecode | egrep -i -A30 'BIOS Information|Base Board Information'

Posted: **15 Nov 2019, 13:37**

blaze is the kernel too old first and 14.2 have the old gcc inside so maybe need a system software upgrade

Posted: **15 Nov 2019, 13:38**

if you have the current release of porteus share it with racolcer and a dmesg i think is more useful

I solved the problem of Porteus only reading 4gb of memory, I used kernel builder and did a modification, overthought the conf file says PAE the 64gb memory was set to 32bit, I did that and problem solved thanks for all your help. Most of my 3D printing software now comes in appimage and I have been unable ro run most of them especially Cura.
