Hi James,
M is used for Megabytes, and m for millibytes. Now one on this earth
uses that. You have a typo.
Personally I use append="128MB", and I have no problems. If you have 512
MB of RAM, try changing the append line to: append="mem=500MB"
This is a limitation in Linux which should be answered by our Linux
gurus from Mandrakesoft or RedHat.
