Now my question concerns the 64M recognition limit, I have added the line mem=128M to the append line in the LILO configuration section of YAST1. When I interrogate with top or the K memory utility it tells be that I have 64M RAM. Have I done something wrong or is it one of those things where the software is wrong ?
Ok a few ideas are does windows see the memory? (I guess so), and have you re-run lilo since you added the line in Yast or does Yast do this automatically? also the line you want is probably (from memory)
append="mem=128M"
as this is working on several machines here. I would try adding the line by hand (as root) and re-running lilo (also as root). If this does not fix the problem then you could try telling us which version of the kernel you are running and the make/model of your motherboard.
The chances of the software being wrong are very low indeed ;-)
