Here it is:
Using the current cooker grub-0.5.94-9mdk, /proc/cmdline shows 'mem=66551K
root=/dev/hda5'
grub> displaymem
EISA Memory BIOS Interface is present
Address Map BIOS Interface is present
Lower memory: 638K, Upper memory (to first chipset hole): 65527K
Then a bunch of addresses...
Using lilo-0.21.4.2-2mdk, /proc/cmdline gives me 'auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=305'
and /proc/meminfo gives me a total available of 127852 kB.
I built and installed grub v0.5.4.94 from gnu.org, but it gives me the same values.
Strange and concerning if grub is the default Mandrake bootloader.
For info, the system is a Dell Dimension XPS R400 with the last Dell BIOS.
