Ahhh.... Ok, I'll test that as soon as the memory test finishes.. So far it is at test #4 (of 8) and everything is passing.

Shane,
Thanks,,
Unfortunately I must be doing something wrong
I'm using GRUB I believe and what I got in response during the boot was
mkrootdev: label: /MEM=512M not found
...and then a kernal panic...
I'm runing a memory test right now using memtest-86 v3.0 so I'll confirm that the memory is good.. I would like to understand why the above command did not work..???

If using LILO
Lilo Boot: linux MEM=512M
If using GRUB
select image (probably default)
hit "a" key
and append MEM=512M so that it reads something like this
grub append> ro root=LABEL=/ MEM=512M
I think that's correct ?

Have you tried appending MEM=512M to the boot loader?

Subject: Memory - 512 SIMMS
Greetings,
I need to run this by you folks and see if there are any alternatives/issues that might get this to work. (using the very latest kernal)
I have a VA-502 revA1 motherboard that has both DIMM slots and SIMM slots.
It is currently runing on the DIMM with two 64k DIMMS. Everything works fine.
I wanted to up the memory and the motherboard Manual indicates that I can put 4 128 SIMMS into the 4 SIMM slots (also must remove the DIMMS) as per the Manual (128MB 72pin SIMM EDO (3.3v) 60ns bought memory from Crucial.com) This will get me to 512 RAM.
The motherboard seems to accept the memory just fine and I get the boot up all the way to the "INIT: 2.84 Booting" and then it locks..
Am I SOL or is there something I can try to help Linux work with this memory..??
Thanks much
John..
