I don't know if the Abit board fully supports faster FSB setting than 66mhz,
as it's a Celeron only board.
I run a Tyan Tiger100 S1832, with dual MSI Socket to slot converters, and 2x
Celeron 466 clocked to 85mhz (1200+bogomips)on the fsb and that works fine.
BUT I am using a board that designed to run at 100mhz over the FSB.
I am planning to add some serious (cryogenic) cooling, and run to 95mhz
(1340+ BogoMIPS.
Sorry I digress.
The point is, I am not sure how well the Mobo will handle the frequency,
considering it's not a P2 or P3 board.
My reccomendation is to change your ETC/LILO.CONF, and add the statement
APPEND="MEM=128M". Then run /SBIN/LILO.
If that doesn't work, try dropping your FSB speed down a notch, untill the
memory come back.

Subject: [newbie] 128MB becomes 64MB when overclocked
Hi, folks.
I've got an Abit BP6 motherboard with two Celeron 466MHz processors and
128MB of PC133 ECC RAM. At normal clock speed, Linux reports 128MB RAM,
as expected. But when I started overclocking, Linux immediately
reported 64MB!
Currently running at 574MHz, nice and comfy, with Linux Mandrake 6.1,
kernel 2.2.13-7mdksmp, compiled #1 SMP Wed Sep 15 16:38:50 CEST 1999.
With version 6.0, I compiled (not entirely successfully) an SMP version
of the standard kernel. I seem to recall something about enabling
enhanced Real Time Clock support, due to the SMP. Right now I'm using
the installed SMP kernel.
Windoze reports 128MB at the same overclock, so I wonder if Linux is
relying on the bus speed? Currently it's 82MHz, instead of the standard
66MHz.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Doug
