Not true, I'm running with 128MB. Depending on how your kernel was
configured when it was built it may have a limitation built in. This is not
a Linux fault but necessary with some earlier BIOSs not being able to
accurately report more than a fixed amount.
If you go into /etc/lilo.conf you can add more memory by adding the
following
append="mem=nnM"
where nn is the size of available RAM you have. Your lilo.conf should end
up looking something like this.
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
timeout=30
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.32.img
read-only
append="mem=32M"
WARNING: This is just a sample, you will have to provide the proper kernel
version and the actual memory size relevant to your setup.
