ISTR there is an append command in one of the rc files which can be used to increase the memory above 64MB. I think = by default LINUX only uses the first 64MB.
No. By default Linux uses all the memory it finds, but sometimes the memory detection has a problem - i.e. it doesn't detect all the memory. If you're *sure* you have 128Mb RAM, and the BIOS checks 128Mb RAM, then at the LILO prompt, type "linux mem=128M", which will force Linux to use the specified amount of memory. If you want to make this permanent so you don't have to type it in each time, edit your /etc/lilo.conf and put 'append = "mem=128M"' in either the global section or in each kernel section.
