(If adding something to /etc/lilo.conf will help, please show EXACT syntax and position within the file) You can add a line to your lilo.conf file like so: append=mem=128M I've always seen it before the sections describing the images to boot. I don't know if it makes a difference, though. I'm not sure what's up with your BIOS. Thanks, Here is what the problem was, and the solution. Your suggestion of 128mb worked, but other people would suggest 160 and 162 megs, which would cause a kernal panic: Total Ram: 160 + 2 and change extra reported by bios. -Total Ram: 160M OnBoard 8mb AGP Graphics: 8M of Total Ram Thus, Availible RAM to linux: 152M When I tried 152M (append=mem=152M) it worked! However 153 would kernal panic, as would anything over. Anything under would work. Therefore, If you have X total RAM, and Y onboard Graphics memory, and only see a fraction of your total RAM, go into /etc/lilo.conf, and copy your default entry, paste it below, and add the line: append=mem=#M where # = X - Y label it exper. type in exper at the lilo prompt. If everything boots ok, delete exper fro lilo.conf, and add the append line to your default. - Dan

How not to get a list response (was Re: Help Meeeeeee!)
For anyone watching -- the subject of this post is a really good way how *not* to get a response. If you're posting to a user group, it's pretty much assumed you need help. Describe your problem, not your desperation. I've got a bandwidth limitation (wetware). I drop noise packets. Not to pick on Dan, and not to be a stickler, but it's simple facts. -oo- On Tue, Mar 14, 2000 at 02:47:19PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- Karsten M.
