128M

128M

[Jesus Peco]

   I have a Pentium II celeron and RedHat6.0 with
128M RAM. I have just recompiled the kernel 2.2.5-15
for a pentium II processor.

   I have changed the lilo.conf like this:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50

image=/boot/vmlinuz131099
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda3
        read-only
	append="mem=128m"
other=/dev/hda1
        label=winnt
        table=/dev/hda


I have also tried to put append="mem=127M" and
append="mem=128M", but unfortunately, after saving
this file and running 

/sbin/lilo -v

I run 

free

which reports that I only have 64M. I reboot and
the same thing happens when I run free or when I
see the Settings->Information->Memory window from
KDE.

Is there a way to make linux see I have 128M?
Do I have a hardware problem?
Is it a software configuration problem?

	Thank you very much!

I had a similar problem with a PII earlier in the month

You _must_ reboot for the kernel to redetect memory.
Try booting lilo with shift pressed and writing mem=128M manually. And
take care if the memory is shared between VRAM and RAM.

Does BIOS report the correct amount of memory?
