I know this was posted awhile ago on this list somewhere concerning having
more than 64 MB of RAM. I just recently upgrade my RAM fm 64 MB to 128 MB.
Window95/NT seems to be able to see the 128 MB of RAM, but for some reason
RH5.2 Linux can only see 64 MB. Can someone either re-post the email
concerning this problem or please help? Of all the books I've been reading
on Linux I can't seem to find the area concerning RAM.

Thanks in Advance.

Do you have the RH52 Install Manual? If so, look on page 263.
If not, give this a shot. At the Lilo prompt type: linux mem=128M
After the machine boots use the command "free" to see if the full 128M
was recognised by the kernel. If so, append a line reading:
append="mem=128M" to the bottom of /etc/lilo.conf

u must pass mem=128M to the kernel

Upgrade to the release 2.0.36-3 kernel package from updates.redhat.com.
If it still refuses to see your memory, put this statement right under
the "image=" statement in your /etc/lilo.conf:

append="mem=128m"

Then run /sbin/lilo

Or upgrade to 2.2.5, either way. But he's right, that's how you pass the kernel
boot paramaters every time you start up. You can also pass it parameters at the
lilo boot prompt. Just append the param to the end of boot image name. I don't
know what would happen if you passed win98 boot params. Who knows, probobly
something bad.

You are right, this has been asked hundreds of times.
