Anmol,
I can think of 2 things to look at.
1 You _do_ have 256MB RAM, don't you? No lying. No sharing with Video
Card. A check, assume some RAM is shared, and use the line
mem=240M
instead.
2 You RAM chips may be bad, incorrectly seated. or affected by "cosmic
ray neutrinos" ;-) Try swapping RAM with another machine. Ask Rajesh
Tihare for his story.
