Hi,

I had 32 MB ram on my machine. I recently bought additional 64 MB
totalling the RAM to 96 MB. The bios detects the new RAM perfectly and
showed total 96 MB. Even Win NT detected 96 MB, but some how Linux showed
only 64 MB. Why is it so ? I am using Red Hat Linux 6.2 kernel 2.2.16-3
compiled for i686. I had read somewhere that the 64 RAM limitation was a
problem of kernel 2.0.x. Does it still persist or am I missing out
something ?

I boot using loadlin.exe, so added the option "mem=96M" to the batch
file. It works that way, but I want to know whether there is still problem
in Linux to detect more then 64 MB RAM. And if there is any other way
apart from what I have done.


Rajen.
