There appears to be quite a difference between the memory usage reported by top (immediately after boot and minus all user processes) and that reported by the kernel during boot. Can anyone give me any hints as to why this might happen?
I am assuming that if I subtract all the memory in use by processes listed by top from all the memory in use that this equals the amount of memory used by the kernel. These numbers do not add up.
A related question: In the 2.2 kernels, does the kernel pre-allocate any amount of memory for modules?
Or is everything I'm seeing related to VM bugs in 2.2.<19 ?
