Hey
First a 'standard' questions: have you done a "lilo" (as root) after you have
changed your lilo.conf?
Next: which mobo are you using? explanation: I have a Abit BP6 with 256 mb -
it would not see more than 64 mb! (like in your case BIOS and Windoze could
see it all). An BIOS-upgrade solved the problem.
It's not to say if it can help you, but give it a try
Good luck
