    On the output of 'lattr -El mem0', does size and goodsize match ?
     
    I assume all your DIMMS are on the first card which supports 16 DIMMS ?
     
    Are the new DIMMS the same as the old (from IBM)? Try testing 1GB at a
    time to see if any problems with certain DIMMS.

    Subject: Memory added but not all being recognized

    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.
