Hi,
I've been playing around with arch in VirtualBox a few months now, and I have just decided to buy a new laptop and go ahead to install it.
I have already installed a tiling WM, sound, graphics & touchpad drivers... etc, but the computer has 8 GB ram and the system does only detect 6.
I've been time searching for a solution but I just can't get it right, can someone help me?
Thanks.

Okey, sorry.
When I check the total memory this is what I get:
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
MemTotal: 6099892 kB
But when I check the RAM sizes this is what I get:
# sudo dmidecode -t memory | grep Size
Size: 4096 MB
Size: 4096 MB
This is my dmesg: https://pastebin.com/XnEypYEW

OT but:
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal MemTotal: 6099892 kB
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
And please use code tags rather than quote tags when posting terminal output, as I have done above.
This is my dmesg
[ 4.005506] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: VRAM: 2048M 0x000000F400000000 - 0x000000F47FFFFFFF (2048M used)
^ Your Vega iGPU is grabbing 2GiB. Try using the vramlimit option for the amdgpu module to change that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … le_options
Reference: https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/amdgpu.html
And it looks like you haven't installed the linux-firmware package, the graphics chip will need that for full performance.

All right, that is enough. I have so many things to learn.
Thanks for your help
