kernel can't find more than 64 Mb memory
Hello. I have had a workstation with 64Mb memory and installed Debian/2.0.38 kernel. Later I've inserted 128Mb DIMM (196Mb total). However kernel always finds 64Mb and no more. Same situation with 2.2.14. BIOS memory test - 100Mhz - 196 Mb OK. Windows 98 SE memory test - 100 Mhz - 196 Mb OK. BIOS memory test - 66Mhz - 196 Mb OK. Windows 98 SE memory test - 66 Mhz - 196 Mb OK. DIMM is HY, PC-133, 7.5 ns, even was tested with iP III 550e up 7xx Mhz...So i think soft is the problem. Thanx. AlekS.

Same situation with 2.2.14. add append=mem=196M to your lilo conf. this should help. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

Re: More that 64 Mb memory
You need to modify the /etc/lilo.conf file and add a startup parameter of mem=128m It's pretty much, that simple... hope it helps... -Dave.
