Well, I thought I was getting to grips with Linux until now.  I'm
running RH5.2 (2.2.5) on a PII

I had to downgrade the machine from 192 MB of RAM to 128 MB, so I
changed the reference to the amount of mem in Lilo.conf to 128 MB, saved
it and ran lilo to validate the changes.  I shut the box down, rebooted
and this is what I get:

---cut---
Memory: 0K/0K available (0K kernel code, 0K reserved, 0K data, 0K init)
Unable to handle Kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000

...

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing.
---cut---

If anyone has a clue on what I did wrong, let me know.  Adding the 64 MB
back is not a solution. ;)

Thanks a lot
Ed.
