Make sure that there is only one append line in lilo.conf. I couldn't get it
to work in mine because it already had an append line. Here is how I got it
to work. Lilo.conf had an append line of: append="ide=scsi" (for CD burner).
I edited the line to read: "append="ide=scsi mem=128" , ran lilo, rebooted
and all is well.
