I've got Mandrake 8.0 on my system right now (but I'm writing this from Windows, for reasons that will be made clear). My system, an Athlon 950 from Gateway, came with 128 Megs of RAM. Everything installed and ran fine. So, of course, I had to change things. I added 256 Megs of RAM. It's not the same overall dimensions as the OEM one, but they both are SDRAM and 133 Mhz, so they should be fine. And, they work fine under Windows ME. But when I try to boot back into Linux (using LILO), it tries to start up the Xwindows, and then boots back to a command prompt, asking for a logon. Before I can even do that, I start seeing a series of error messages, apparently having something to do with the USB support. Since this worked fine with 128 Megs, I think that this isn't the problem, but that the memory is. So: does Mandrake not like changing the installed memory after you've got a system up and running? Should I boot from the boot disk and add a parameter telling it of the new amount of RAM? (That would be 'Linux append="mem=384", right?) Or should I just reinstall? Thanks!
