I have the same problem but I don't use lilo...only loadlin. I have 256mb of ram but linux only sees it as 64mb. How can I make it use the whole lot? Thanks!
append="mem=80M" add this to your /etc/lilo.conf and 96M for the other The bios is used to report the size of ram to lilo which passes it on to the kernel. On Fri, 4 Dec 1998, Frans Legdeur wrote:
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.
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.
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:
Loaded 4245 symbols from /System.map. Symbols match kernel version. klogd 1.3-0, log source = /proc/kmsg started. <4>Memory: sized by int13 088h <4>Console: 16 point font, 400 scans <4>Console: colour VGA+ 80x25, 1 virtual console (max 63) <4>pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0x000ffee0 <4>pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory entry at 0xf0000 <4>pcibios_init : PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xf005e <4>Probing PCI hardware. <4>Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 60.01 BogoMIPS <4>Memory: 14696k/16384k available (768k kernel code, 384k reserved, 536k data)
What you can see is two things, first the Memory sixed by Int13 088h, which gets the memory size from the bios. and second the Memory: 14696k/16384k available, so no 80 Mb.
Can you manualy set this somewhere or do I have to think of more serious work???
Regards,
Frans.

Hi folks I need a color Printer But , I want to get one that is supported by Linux , and will Print color as well in linux. I was thinking color Ink jet , as they are inexpensive. Do they also come postscript , and with printers overall , how much more does it cost to go postscript ??

You could try emailing the manufacturers and ask them if they provide drivers as they do for Windows. I keep trying and they keep ignoring. Perhaps someday our existence will be recognized.

append="mem=80M" Think about this I have 80 Megs of ram well 80M just might stand for 80 Megs. So what do you think you have to enter for 256 Megs. ?

append="mem=256M" if you have more mem installed just write append="mem=close_to_infinityM" ;-))

I thought, this is a RTFM Question, but, as I read my SuSE Manual, (5.0, a bit older) I did not find *suiteable* example for the correct syntax with loadlin. I'd simply add a "mem=256M" without, and if it fails, with quotes to the line in your *.bat file that contains the loadlin call. You can always boot DOS to change /correct / remove that entry.

With the SuSE kernels there is no need to add the append line now.

Well, on some machines it is still necessary to specify the amount of RAM installed. This is especially true for some old PCI machines (we have two of them) and for several machines from well known vendors. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
