Memory above 64M and slink

1999-03-22 Thread Sebastian Canagaratna
Hi: , I was under the impression that going from Hamm to slink would enable me to use all my 80M of memory. I am using kernel 2.0.36, with, in the /etc/lilo.conf the first line append=mem=80M but only about 63 odd M are recognized? Is it possible to overcome this?

I think 2.0.36 was the first stable kernel to recognize more than 64M automatically. Try it without the append= line. My systems recognizes 256M without the append= line in lilo.conf. Here are the first few lines from dmesg: Memory: sized by int13 0e801h Console: 16 point font, 400 scans
