I am currently at that stage of the game with Mandrake 7.0-2. The statement
append="mem=124M" works with Corel Linux on the same system, but it causes
a Kernel Panic with Mandrake. I learned in Corel to use 124, because my
onboard video takes 4M. Perhaps I need to use a lower number with Mandrake,
although I don't understand why that would be needed.
