Hello Frans,
Hi,
I've got a strange problem on two of my machines. Upgraded one Compaq Prosignia 300 from 16 Mb to 80 Mb by adding 2 x 32 Mb. Did run through the Compaq setup and it shows me 80 Mb.
Odd. We had a bit of Compaq bashing for other reasons last week (or I did.. ;-)), roughly I'd consider the following: - Have a look into setup, wether there is anything that limits the memory to 16MB (sort of weird option, the system *sees* it but wont *give* all to the OS for goodness knows what reasons)
Allthough, running SuSE 5.3 linux, only the first 16 Mb is shown. I did recompile the kernal, but still it sticks at 16 Mb.
there is a kernel option like: "limit memory to low 16MB" or similar that does *just* that. Make sure this option is off.
My second machine is an dual Pentium 133, which holds 96 Mb, will only see 64 Mb as max under SuSE 5.3. On both machines I do see the following message at startup:
as Charles suggested, add the 'append="mem=96M"' to the global section fo lilo.conf and re-run lilo.
... Can you manualy set this somewhere or do I have to think of more serious work???
Hopefully not :-)
Regards,
Frans.
