    I have a 44P-270 with 1GB of ram. It had 4 - 246MB DIMMS (IBM PN 4019).
    I added another 12 - 256 MB DIMMS to bring it up to 4096MB.
    After powering it up it now only recognizes 2048MB so I'm 2GB short.
    (Boot screen shows 2048MB and lsattr -El mem0 also just shows 2048).

    I've pulled out the memory card and reseated the memory DIMM's I just added.
    Same result.

    Am I missing anything here that will stop the server from recognizing the extra memory?

    This is AIX 4.3.3 if that makes a difference.
