OS shows only 3 GB in 32 bit Linux VM
The memory not showing total 4GB on OS side is a known issue for RHEL 5 32bit to be precise.
The server was installed with a non-PAE(Physical Address Extension) kernel support, which cause the memory addresses spills over the 32-bit boundary. This is somewhat limitation for non-PAE kernel. The max memory size can only be supported up to 3GB.
Nothing we can do in this case as it’s an OS limitation. Kindly relay this message to Customer if you think this will be a show stopper. I don’t foresee any issue since the OS still running at same memory size of 3GB RAM..
