Boot in with a floppy and for now, delete your append line (or at least te part about mem=128). More than likely either th system is using some of that memory, or you are sharing with your video card. Reboot (w/o floppy) and at the prompt try "linux mem=127M" w/o the quotes. If that works, then that's the amount to add to your append line. If it doesn't, try 126, etc, going down until you find the amount that works. then put that in the append line.

Make sure you wrote things well. I wonder why your system hangs since reconfiguring lilo is not something that should affect normal system functioning... Paul -- Don't be among people always.

Is your video using shared system RAM, try reducing the 128 to 127, 126,125 until it works correctly. Some hardware reports the RAM a little different. Remember to run LILO after each attempt.
