Hi

Now I have update my bootloader but ther is still something funny with my
memory. /dev/mtdblock/3 size is still 16MB. The total memory is 48MB. My
iPAQ has 64MB. So where are the 16MB remainning and how can I recover them
and add them to /dev/mtdblock/3

# df -aH
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock/3 16M 14M 2.3M 86% /
proc 0 0 0 - /proc
ramfs 32M 504k 31M 2% /mnt/ramfs
devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts
#

Thanks in advance.
