Did you run "lilo" after modifying lilo.conf?
The changes do not take effect until you run lilo.

When I start Linux with linux mem=128M it boots and reports 128M of ram.
When
I boot from the lilo.conf file (which has the mem=128M in the append
section),
it only boots with 65M. Any reasons why this would be so, and is there a
way
aroudn this/

PS: it worked first time last time!
