You apparently have a very broken BIOS then. I haven't seen this problem
for quite a while.
Your /etc/lilo.conf file should currently say something like
..
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-23mdk
label=mdk60
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
..
Try adding
append="mem=128M"
somewhere between image=something and read-only, and running /sbin/lilo
after that. Then, reboot. It should override the memory detection
procedures.
If the problem persists even after that, let me know, and also tell me
which mainboard you're using and which version of the BIOS.
