Thanks for all the tips,
I did solve the problem by adding the append = "mem=80M" to the lilo.conf file.
So I didn't had to change my Bios settings in this case...but maybe they where allready OK.
For the Compaq Bios settings, you need the special setup utility, downloaded from their web site to enter the setup. Normaly there is an special partition at the end of the hardisk cylinders, that you can start by holding down the F-10 key during startup, when the blok cursor blinks in the uperright corner.
Allthoug when Linux is installed, and you didn't wipe out this partition, lilo will not allow the setup partition to start.
I had a little Campaq bashing session with my collegues at work for this reason, but there *is* a solution. As soon as you install lilo, Compaq won't be able to access the diags. partition. you have to make an entry in lilo.conf for it. If this problem *persists* I'll ask and give further info. I'd treat the diags. part. just like M$-DOS.
So you can download the set of four disks, and when you boot your system with the first disk, it will give you an choice to continue starting from the special partition. Find all of this on the Compaq web-site...

Frans.
