The lilo.conf solution has to work. Just make sure you have done all of
these things.
1. Update your /etc/lilo.conf, and make it read somewhat like this..
Make sure you put that append line in the "image=" section.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
password=hiq3qih
restricted
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/bzImage
label=udmalin
append="mem=128M"
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
2. Run lilo (/sbin/lilo). Make sure your boot record is updated. If its a
single boot machine (only gnu/linux), then make sure your lilo writes to
the MBR. I have seen stupid things like lilo writing to boot sector of
/ partition, whereas the machine reads the MBR etc. Happens when you play
around with lilo too much.
3. Reboot. And do a cat /proc/meminfo. Check the amount of RAM displayed
in the first column of the output. It *must* be 128MB.
