RE: [[newbie] More RAMproblems]
Does your Video card "borrows" RAM from your RAM? Check your BIOS and your motherboard's manual for this. There are some MB that "steals" ram in order to let your video card use 1,2,4 or 8 MB of your ram for it. - Original Message - From: Ed Santiago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 1999 9:00 PM Subject: Re: [[newbie] More RAMproblems] > You might check the computer bios and see if in the chipset features there is > a "Memory Hole At 15M Addr." or someting of that nature.

You might check the computer bios and see if in the chipset features there is a "Memory Hole At 15M Addr." or someting of that nature. If it is not disabled Linux will only recognize a small portion of your ram. Another words DISABLE the memory hole's address range of the ISA cycle.

I added the line append="mem=128mb" to my lilo.conf and I ran the /sbin/lilo , but Linux still doesn't see my 128 MB of RAM. Do I have to reboot before it will see the RAM, or what? Someone please help. Payne PS Thanks for all the help so far. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
