make sure you got the line right i believe it is: append="mem=128M"
been a while since i used it though, the easiest way to see free ram is to type 'free' or cat /proc/meminfo or use top or use dmesg and search for the amount of ram it detects: Memory: 127948k/131008k available (1068k kernel code, 412k reserved, 1536k data, 44k init) its probably best to leave 1MB free when using the append option for most boards, so tell linux u got 127MB instead of 128 sometimes allocating every last bit of ram can cause problems(sometimes minor sometimes major). nate On Mon, 7 Feb 2000, Lane Lester wrote: lleste >What command will tell me how much RAM Debian Linux thinks I have? lleste > lleste >My BIOS, Win NT, and Win 98 all know I have 128M, but Corel Linux lleste >thinks I have only 64M.
