RE: [newbie] setting RAM (and LILO parameters)

[Martin Marier]

Thanks to everybody who helped me,

I just wanted to add a little comment about "setting RAM".  In SuSE Linux
(6.2), There has to be commas between parameters in /etc/lilo.conf .
Otherwise it doesn't work.

How are the other distros ?
Is there a lot differences like this one between distros ?


Thanks

[newbie] setting RAM

[Martin Marier]

Hello list,

I'm having problems letting Linux know that I have 96 MB of RAM  (it only
sees 64 MB).  I tried edit lilo.conf file adding a parameter in the append
line :

append="hdb=ide_scsi,mem=96M"


But it doesn't work.  The memory is still at 64MB and /dev/hdb remains an
IDE drive.  It used to look like this and everything workes fine (except for
the memory) :

append="hdb=ide_scsi"

Thanks for helping !

Martin,
make the 2 changes above, if that doesn't work do it in linuxconf and
reboot.
