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"
Yes, YAST does this. I have checked /etc/lilo.conf and my append line is as follows :- append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi mem=128M" and yes windows sees all 128Mb.
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.
Kernel is 2.2.16, motherboard is Packard Bell Phoenix+, chipset VIA Apollo 133A.
The chances of the software being wrong are very low indeed ;-)
I fear you are correct here!!
Many thanks so far

P.S. I am not using lilo for the dual boot but am using Bootmagic, could this be the reason?
