I did a search on linux.com, and found this:
All memory like DRAM, EDO and SDRAM can be used with Linux. There is one thing
you have to look at: normally the kernel is not
supporting more than 64 Mb of memory.
When you add more than 64 Mb of memory you have to add
the following line to your
LILO configuration file.
append="mem=<number of Mb>M"
So, when you have 96 Mb of memory this should become
append="mem=96M"
Don't type a number higher than the number Mb you really
have. This can present
unpredictable crashes.
There was nothing about location of this statement, but I have heard that it
should be on the BOOT line. I'm struggling along with just 64 Mb right now, so
I haven't tested it myself!
