Maybe a stupid question, but does your motherboard/BIOS
recognize the new memory *first* ??
I've never really seen a good explanation of why the kernel
is not always able to find all the

I had the same problem on a dual boot machine, The bios thinks there's
300M, but there are only 190M
specifying mem=190M is OK

Well, as it turns out, the problem is actually with the hardware. I am
not sure exactly what the problem is, as both 128 MB DIMMs are fine
(according to a couple hours each under memtest86). But if they're both
in the machine at once then it won't even boot reliably. I found that
