1. Edit the '/etc/lilo.conf' file to add the following line:
     append="mem=128M"
add the line after the last line for the kernal you want loaded, or all
kernals

2. run '/sbin/lilo'

3. reboot

Do ALL three steps. Watch the messages when you reboot, and you should
see a message tellling you how much memory is recognized.

Good luck

I now have the 2.0.33 and this problem has gone away. The distribution
is SuSE 5.2, but I think this is true of all the newer releases. Maybe
if you just get the latest stable kernel 2.0.35, that should fix the
problem.

ex:

mem="128 MB"

That should do the trick

If you're gonna provide help on Usenet, you should post correct answers.

There should not be any white spaces in the 'mem=128M' part.

RedHat 5.1 with 2.0.34 kernel still has the problem.
