Well, Jean-Louis,
It happend that the box has a brand new ASUS board (BIOS 11/99)
If I will set the BIOS for OS/2 I am getting only 14M. Go figure!!
Again I think that thre is something wrong with the code itself - there
are too many people complainig about the same thing - LINUX IS NOT ABLLE
TO RECOGNIZE MORE THAN 64M
It looks like the intruction code is made to recognize only a 16Bit
integer.
