    Hi,

    So i just updated to the new kernel for karmic (but havn't upgraded yet), and ran free -m:

    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 321 277 43 0 5 92
    -/+ buffers/cache: 179 141
    Swap: 511 0 511


    Little strange for a 256mb slice, not that i'm complaining though :)

    We are aware that 'free' is reporting the RAM inaccurately with Karmic and the new kernel. We are looking into it and we'll have it resolved just as soon as we can.

    Sorry that you are not actually getting the RAM reported :(

    :)... no problem, willing to accept a few rough edges for early adopting ;)

    Has there been any progress on this? Is there a new kernel version coming with these issues resolved?

    Hi,

    The 2.6.32.1 helps with this issue - it is an upstream bug which has not been resolved yet (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/510243).

    I know it is annoying but it is purely cosmetic - it does not affect the actual RAM allocation.

    We are testing the kernel in our testing environment and I have just spoken to the Systems team - we should be able to get the new kernel out as soon possible.

    Cheers, Paul
