My system has 64MB of EDO RAM (old one as I have an old PC). If the RAM
would not have been fitted properly then as I have 2 - 32MB chips, i would
have to write mem=32M in my LILO. But it works with mem=60M. Moreover, I
had installed Red Hat 6.1 earlier, & I was not having this problem then. It
came up after installing Red Hat 6.2. Can't guess a correct answer... Maybe
6.2 is not compatible with my bios. In that case I think I will have to
recompile the Kernel. Will do.....
