Has the second box also 192M???? Have you activated OS/2 in the BIOS???? With this
"feature" activated Linux will never see more
than 64MB. Try telling Linux that it has 192MB at the Lilo-Prompt by typing:
LILO: <name-of-your-kernel> (default in Mandrake7.02 is vmlinuz) mem=192M
and see what happens. If this doesn�t help, I would test the RAM in the Machine where
the append in lilo.conf works.
