Hello,
I had the same problem. How do you launch Linux? If with lilo, then you should
add in the lilo.conf a line
specifing t othe kernel the amount of RAM you have: append="mem=224M".  If you
use loadlin you should add in the command line this so it should look like
that:

c:\whatever\loadlin.exe c:\whatever\vmlinuz??? root=/dev/hda? mem=224M

^^^^^^^^^^
