[vox-tech] Checking amount of memory

[Mark K. Kim]

It looks like you're missing some memory there...

Older kernels needed to have the memory size passed to the kernel if it
was over some number (64MB, I think), which might be your case.  What
kernel do you use?  If you have an old kernel, at boot, try passing the
"mem=512M" parameter to the kernel.  Make sure you test the whole memory
after boot by loading some big apps and filling the entire memory.
