Hi, Jimmy,
That's great that you might've tracked down the problem. Are you
booting into Linux with LILO? If so, you can add this line into the
appropriate boot stanza of /etc/lilo.conf:
append = "mem=128M"
This will tell your system that you have 128 mb ram. Then run
'/sbin/lilo' as root to update this change. Reboot that stanza, and you
should be trucking 128 mb. Good luck,
Hidong
