memory exhaustion on sarge,

Hi,

I am using sarge on DL380 hardware. The kernel is 2.6.8-2-686-smp.

After the machine boots up, the memory utilization starts 54MB memory. However, it gets higher and higher up to 1 GB (full physical memory). When I say, "top", it gives the physical memory utilization and also process RSS memory usage statistics. When I add up each process memory usage, it does not give the total memory utilization. So, does it mean, the remaining memory is used by kernel or other ? I suspect the kernel, because after I kill all big processes (apache2, squid, bind, ftp-proxy, proftpd, sshd), the memory usage isn't decreased very much. It stays 600MB and over.

Is there a way to identify what consumes that much of memory?
