Yes, add mem=860M The 'M' on the end specifies MB's. You
told the kernel it had only 860 bytes to work in ;) Once I get my
cpu and cooler deal straightened out, I'm gonna go back to a
regular kernel, and 860 of 1024MB also. MM under a enterprise
kernel is even slower than I expected. Not to worry, FedEx is on
the way to straighten out my user error.
