I don't think there's anything wrong with the h/w as such .. I recently did the same with SuSE 7.1 and it dint show any problems. After the upgradation, I did memtest, just to ensure the chip was okay, and then booting into Linux was without any problems. *free* showed me proper figures .. > Any suggestions. I don't know how to rectify the problem, but u can try mem=256M at the lilo prompt after the appropriate label .. May be that's required for linux to recognize the full amt of RAM .. Another thing that's striking my mind is the compatibility with the m/b .. I'm not very much aware of the h/w things, but there're some old m/b which can't support big single chip RAMs ..
