390 is a strange number. Are you sure it's not 384MB (128MB*3 DIMMs)? What the BIOS counts and what we commonly refer to as Megabytes are often slightly different things. To fix your problem, add this to your /etc/lilo.conf file: append="mem=384M" If you already have an append line, just put the mem declaration in between the quotes, seperated from other items by spaces, such as: append="hdd=ide-scsi idebus=33 mem=384M" Please note that mem is lower case, but the M after the number is capitol. ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Add mem=384M to LILO boot prompt: linux mem=384M (you don't hve to type this every time; re-run LILO using YaST and make the changes). Or, if you are using a Pentium clone try mem=nopentium.
