It has _nothing_ to do with linux itself: linux has no _safe_ way
to know the memory size, except to ask the BIOS (when I say _safe_
I mean, not likely to hang the machine).
So, if you have an older BIOS that doesn't know how to report more
than 64Mb, then you have to use the "mem=xxxx" command line parameter.
