I did get a comment earlier that the 2.4.22-10mdkenterprise kernel I was using (and can still boot to) can utilise 1024MB, but I also noticed in the boot.log that the correct physical memory was detected and then set to 845MB (or there abouts). Problem is the machine was hanging even then - thus the upgrade to 2.4.22-21 in the first place. No worries about the digression - I like to learn :-) -- Paul O'Rorke [EMAIL PROTECTED] (school) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (legacy/home) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for MSN messenger) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for Yahoo messenger)
