Linux 6.10 Will Print The Number Of Populated Memory Slots At Boot Time


As a small information heads up, the Linux 6.10 kernel will print the number of populated memory slots at boot time to the kernel log as a little helper.

It will also print an informational message around the number of populated memory slots at boot time. From the dmesg output on Linux 6.10+ will be a message of " DMI: Memory slots populated:" with the number of memory slots deemed to be populated -- assuming the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) information is accurate. This is just a convenient helper with the memory topology information already can be manually calculated and analyzed via the likes of the dmidecode utility as root.
