You probably have all of your drive partitioned

yourself)  Get a non destructive reparation tool (Partition Magic) and try

Re: [newbie] Ram Problems

[Enterprise2001]

Yep, try adding

append="mem=256M"

under the entry for your Linux kernel image in lilo.conf (usually in /etc)
then run

lilo -v

This worked for me. Except I have 128 MB RAM and mine says 128M instead of
256M.  I hear it could get ugly if you remove RAM so keep boot disk with out
this set.
