I heard that mandrake needs line: append="mem=128M"
in to /etc/lilo.conf if computer haves more than 64mb.
I have 128mb mem and i dont have that line in my conf
but still "top" shows that i have 128mb of mem + swap ?

I haven't got this line either and I have 196Mb RAM. Seems to work ok

sometimes you have to use
append "mem=127M"
because 1 meg disappears into the video shadow. We had this problem
until we dropped it to 127 meg. then it recognized the memory

It is dependen
If does not need it why can see no more than 64M
UNIX originally was designed to take advantege of RAM memory (HDs were
too expensive back then)
The more RAM the better the performance - there is something really
wrong with Linux if you can not use more than 64M

Did you read the message you are replying to?
It never said Linux can't see no more than 64. It said, if you have an
old BIOS (mobo) which cannot tell more than 64 to the OS, then _you_
have to tell the OS.

r where do you add the line in

Well, Jean-Louis,
It happend that the box has a brand new ASUS board (BIOS 11/99)
If I will set the BIOS for OS/2 I am getting only 14M. Go figure!!
Again I think that thre is something wrong with the code itself - there
are too many people complainig about the same thing - LINUX IS NOT ABLLE
TO R
OK so if it is a new machine (in this case is a 11/99 BIOS - ABIT board,
the addition to the lilo.config is not required
This is common knowledge - my question is HOW I CAN MAKE THIS LINUX crap
to recognize more than 64M.

So the problem _does_ come from the BIOS !!! (and/or _possibly_
the RAM circuitry itself, especially if the system is

Same here, 196Mb and Mandrake sees the whole lot no probs
I agree with all of you flame or not.
I really need an answer not a status of other systems.
Given the fact that Red Hat/Mandrake is keeping a long silence about
this make me believe that there is a problem somewhere. Why is showing
only on certain systems - THAT'S the mystery!!

nd for a long
time and have figured out the hardware side of it, but then most of them are
commerical OS's also.

Actually thats not true at all. For example, I used to run SuSE 5.1 and had
to add the append statement into my lilo.conf to see >64M of ram. Btw, you
DON'T enable the OS/2 option, since that's specific to the OS/2 operating
system. ;) After upgrading to SuSE 5.3 > I didn't need the append opti
