We've got two machines, both with 128M RAM installed. Since upgrading to
redhat 5.1 I can't seem to get it to recognize the RAM over 64M. Or could
it be my perception of things is off?
anyway, I did check the FAQ and made an attempt at adding the
append="MEM=128M" line in the lilo conf, on both machines and it doesn't
appear to be working.
Here is my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/sda
timeout=50
prompt
vga = normal
read-only
append="mem=128M"
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image=/boot/vmlinuz-scsi
label=scsi
read-only
root=/dev/sdb6
From the boot messages:
Oct 19 13:39:08 stargate kernel: Memory: 64100k/66496k available (788k
kernel code, 384k reserved, 1224k data)
From top:
CPU states: 1.7% user, 1.3% system, 0.0% nice, 97.3% idle
Mem: 64100K av, 32792K used, 31308K free, 37236K shrd, 7556K buff
Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 11192K cached
Is there something else I should be looking into?
