[gentoo-user] "free -m" under x86_64

Greets,

following that Core2Duo-thread from a few days ago I now set up a new installation of my current 32bit-x86-setup on a second 64bit machine.

I started a fresh install with the amd64 cd, used CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" and emerged everything fresh from the world file on the 32bit machine.

I built the kernel for a generic 64bit CPU (just to make sure that it will be easy to move that partition to the target system, I will have to move from a Pentium D950 to a Core2Duo E6600).

#zgrep 64 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_X86_64=y
CONFIG_64BIT=y
[...]

Now I wonder why "free -m" still shows only 3.2 GB of RAM when I have 4 gigs in the box ...

Do I have to set/remove some specific kernel-flag in /usr/src/linux/.config ?

Do you need help?
