This is very easy to fix:
1) Login as root (or su at a command prompt)
2) Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf
3) Under the "label = linux" line add the line: append = "mem=xxxMB"
4) Save the changes
5) run "lilo" (without the quotes) at the prompt.
Just adding the append statement to lilo.conf isn't enough. You still have to
run lilo against it to make the changes final.
