Re: [newbie] Missing Ram -- Append?

2000-02-15 Thread steve . flynn




did the append line work for you after you joined the two together with a comma?

I can't check right now, but have a read of

man lilo.conf

There's bound to be an example somewhere

 I believe it should be

 mem=256M

 Either way, try something like

 append="hdd=ide-scsi,mem=256M"

 and rerun /sbin/lilo

 Do you definately need the "hdd=ide-scsi" comment?

 I have 256mb of ram, but linux only shows 64.  I got a not from someone
 telling me to add the line:
 apppend="mem=256"
 to my lilo.conf file.  The probelm is, there is already one there for
 something else.  How do I combine the two(lilo won't run until there's
only
 one)?
 The I tried to put:
 append="hdd=ide-scsi mem=256"
 I saw the hdd-ide-scsi come up when booting, but a few lines after that my
 computer froze with the message:
 kernal panic: kmem_cache_sizes_init: Error creating caches
 In Swappertask = not syncing

 Good thing I had a boot disk...
 Anyone have any ideas?

One thing that kept that statement from working for me for a while was
my failing to subtract the 4M that my onboard video was using.

Add append="mem=256" to the end of the 'linux' entry in lilo.conf. You
can get rid of any other entry that is anywhere else.
