Peter,
I am sending this to you and the list for this reason. I saw your question
about the ethernet card on the list and I know a lot about that card. I do
not know a lot about linux and memory and I hope someone on the list will
see and help you. Now here is what I know about this problem.
Some times linux will fail to see all the memory because some expansion
card has placed its memory at that location so linux can not use it and
quits trying to use any memory higher. I have seen video cards do this and
very very old bios do this. There is also a known bug in some bios that do
not allow it to tell linux the correct amount of memory. Try this; when
you see the lilo prompt type "linux mem=128M" without the quotes. If
nothing strange happens then ask on the list how to set this option in lilo
permanently.
Good luck and please use the list. There are people there just waiting to
help you.
Jerry
