Well, here is my linux.conf file:
boot=/dev/hda5
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
append=" hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hda5
append=" hdd=ide-scsi failsafe"
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
So where would I put "mem=128M"? In place of append=" hdd=ide-scsi" or
append=" hdd=ide-scsi failsafe"? and wouldn't changing those lines screw
with my harddrive? Thanks for the help. I REALLY appreciate it.
Take care,
Salman

Hi Salman,
If you use lilo to boot, try opening /etc/lilo.conf as "root"
Look for the line that has append= [I might be empty, or there might be
something in there already] If it's empty, try making it read
append="mem=128M" (Use quotes just like that) If it's not empty, add
what's betwee the quotes into the equation. You can NOT make a second
append line, however (AFAIK)
HTH,
Mike
