Have you tried using the "mem=" switch in the bootloader? On a 512MB system, I had to append "mem=511M" to the "linux" line under /boot/menu.lst, winding up with a line that looks like this: title linux kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hd5 mem=511M Note that the number is one less than the total number of meg in the syste. I don't know if that's necessary in general, or just in the specific case of the i810-based motherboard I'm using, but if I set it to 512M I get a kernel panic during boot-up. - Jeff
