Is there really no other more 'permanent' way to let the system know the amount of RAM, for example if Lilo isn't installed at all??
Well, in principle you shouldn't have to anymore with modern linux kernels..I think this used to be the case if you had more than 64 MB, but ... ?
Cliff Right now even this doesn't help me:
image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse root = /dev/hda8 label = suse append="mem120M"
Lilo is on the boot partition and still Linux only registers 64 RAM which is awful. This is kernel 2.2.16.
You have it in the wrong place.
Not necessarily. The append parameter may be either a global option (in which case it will become a default for all kernels) or in the individual image section for parameters specific to a particular kernel. For example, you may have two kernel images - on with and one without the driver for your network card compiled in. The first kernel may need parameters for irq/io for the card, while the second card will not need these as they can be set in /etc/modules.conf. Putting an = sign in between the 'mem' and the '120M' may help though. Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
