| How to let Linux recongnize system memory over 64M? | |||
|---|---|---|---|

Solution:
If you have more than 64MB of RAM installed, the boot argument "mem=" can be
used to tell Linux how much memory your system has. There are two ways listed
below for reference.
1. When message "boot:" appears, please input following parameters.
Boot: mount root=/dev/hda1 ro mem=96M
Note: With above statement, it assumes that the Linux is installed in
paratition /dev/hda1. The parameter "96M" is physical memory capacity for usage
of Linux.
2. The LILO is installed
Please add below statement to "global " section of /etc/lilo.conf file.
append="mem=96M"
NOTE: For detailed information, user can refer to document "BootPrompt-HOWTO".
