Add 'mem=860M' to your lilo.conf's append line, and then run
'lilo'. You can then shut down and put the other ram back in.
Should eliminate the kernel panic on boot. Another option is to
install the enterprise kernel. It's capable of addressing 1gb and
more of ram. BUT, you're better off performance wise usin the
regular kernel and limiting ram to 860. OTOH, I doubt you'll ever
need more than 512 anyhow ;)
