Throsten, I too had the same problem.  I am a newbie so forgive the lack of
exact wording.
you need to edit your "lilo.conf" file in /etc/lilo.conf
look for a line that starts with:   append="xxxx"     where xxxx stands for
something i can't remember, in any event inside the quotes type a space
after the only entry or last entry and type:
mem=128M     it should be inside the quotes
once your config is saved run /sbin/lilo.conf
when you reboot your system should read the new memory amt.
also good to read with more detailed explination :

good luck
