Add the line, even if it's a "new" BIOS. Also make sure you have the
latest BIOS possible. Try it at the lilo command as follows:
LILO: linux append="mem=128M"
and it SHOULD work. If it does, just add it to your /etc/lilo.conf. I
have yet to read of anywhere it did NOT work. I'm sure there are
extreme cases where it won't work, but I don't recall hearing of any.
Heck, it even works when you O/C the processor and it stops reporting
the correct RAM automagically...
