Hi, The April 11th boot disk crashes when I enter the kernel command line option "mem=128M" (I also tried mem=32M and mem=64M -- all crashed in the same way (see below)).
This system has 128M of RAM, but the BIOS only reports 16M to Linux. When I try to correction this on the boot disk command-line, I get the following crash: linux mem=128M (manually entered at boot disk prompt) Loading root.bin........... Loading Linux....... (I didn't record number of dots here or above) Decompressing Linux... (exactly 3 dots) crc error -- System halted Using the March boot disks this procedure works (boy am I glad I kept a copy of those March boot disks!!!). And using lilo (with the same kernel as is on the boot disk), the mem=128M line works (I even built a kernel and ran lots of memtests to verify that the memory works fine. It does.) Conclusion: the April boot disks are broken wrt the mem kernel command line option. -- Christopher J.
