Linux can't see all my memory
Linux only sees 64Mb of 384Mb. IIRC there is some command you can enter at the lilo prompt to correct this. Could someone please enlighten me. Cheers, BJ

In your lilo.conf stick append = "mem=384m" -- ___ ___ (o o) 1st rule of intelligent tinkering - save all the parts (o o) ( V ) ( V ) /--m-m-----------------------www.nott.ac.uk/~psystrj-------------------m-m--\

Are you sure about the syntax because it seems to have no effect. I tried append=mem=384m and append=mem=384M no go thoough. Cheers, BJ

Did you rerun lilo? I literally have append = "mem=128m hdc=ide-scsi" in my lilo.conf -- (o_ | Toby Jaffey : www.nott.ac.uk/~psystrj/ //\ | He's not dead, Jim, he's just metabolically challenged. V_/_ |

Yeah, /sbin/lilo -v but still no joy. Same distro (Mandrake 7.0) finds 128M on my laptop no problem and Windows 98 finds it (still spends half its time paging to disk though). Strange problem, loads of other goodies to play with at the moment though. I'm trying to get Linux to talk to my Diamond Rio 500 USB MP3 player and I think they've had a bit of a tiff coz communication at the moment is a no-no. :-) Off to my pit now otherwise I'll never get the kids up for school in the morning.

No help, I know, but the append= stuff from the others should work. My SuSE system sees it "automagically" (according to 'top' anyway)... AFAIK, the later kernels (2.2.x) do that, so no need to mess with lilo. Cheers, Laurie.
mem=128M for example Tony On 11 Jul 2000, at 10:19, Laurie Brown wrote:
