hey i remember this prob it is in the boot loader, im thinking your using grub unless you specified lilo when the boot loader starts i believe you type c then find the line that indicates ram you might have to add it boot: linux mem=128M -this is for lilo i believe grubs line looks like boot: mem=128M In a message dated 24-Sep-00 06:18:43 Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Some days ago I posted a message asking for an advice about the compatibility of linux mandrake with a NEC laptop. Well, I finally bought it and installed Mandrake 7.1. The machine specifications are: a PIII500 with 128MB of RAM, 12GB HD, 14" XGA screen, an ATI rage mobility graphic card with 4MB RAM and a yamaha chipset YMF-752. I have to say that Mandrake behaved quite well, in fact I had no problem during the installation except for the detection of only 65MB of RAM instead of the physical 128. I hoped that putting explicitely the correct amount of RAM into the specific textbox during the installation would had ruled the problem out, but it didn't. >>
