[Bug 817610] [NEW] Memory amounts incorrectly calcluated on systems with 4GB of memory

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Mario Limonciello (superm1):

Summary: Hibernate function is available on systems with 4GB RAM.  For
Dell-Recovery purposes, Hibernate should be disabled on systems with 4GB
of RAM or more.   Currently, systems with exactly 4GB of physical memory
are being shown to have slightly less than 4GB according to the
installer.  This causes hibernate to be turned on.

Steps:
1. Build and install 11.04 base
2. Check if hibernate function is available.

Expected results: For system with <4GB RAM, hibernate function should be
available. For systems with >=4GB RAM, hibernate function should not be
available.

Actual results: Physically the system is equipped with 4GB RAM, and
hibernate function is available after the install.

SRU Request:

Impact - Incorrect Memory Calculations will cause hibernate to be
enabled on machines where it should not.

Fix - Memory amounts have been corrected by implementing the round()
function in dell-boostrap.py:

recovery.natty/revision/695

How to reproduce: See "Steps" above.

Regression Potential - very low.
