I don't know why but on some systems you have to go one less than the number.
Since below your total is (23 at boot plus 8 meg for video) 31 then try
append="mem=31M" and rerun lilo. Then reboot.

The crash came at re-boot time (after adjusting /etc/lilo.conf
and running Lilo).
The BIOS reports a full 32M.
Having removed the "append" line in lilo.conf I'm back where I
was with 23M of RAM reported at the log-in screen.

Good point. I had that problem until I used "mem=124M" because my onboard video
use
Have you tried typing lilo to effect your changes?

As it turned out, he had a motherboard that shared system memory with the
onboard video. Linux puked because

This is an old question but for me its a new machine.
It's an AMd K6 450 with 32 mb RAM (soon to be increased!)
On firing up Mandrake 7 (with kernel 2.2.15-0.18mdk)
A guess: 8Meg for video ram (no seperate video memory) + 1Meg for the
640k "regular" memory. (Thank you, Bill.)

The kernel footprint is about 500K. This is not windows where it runs
about 4Mb (at least for NT)
A kernel panic when? When you ran LILO? When you rebooted as well or
just when you rebooted?
What does your BIOS say when it tests
That's it - the graphics board uses 8MB. Thanks for this; glad I
don't need to play with Lilo any more!

Wow! I tried this and it threw my kernel into a panic - had to
dig out the rescue disk etc. My first real emergency!
I'm only guessing - is the kernel using up 9 MB? and panics when
not allowed that space?
All explantions welcome!

Hi Glyn
Change it to append ="mem=32M" then type lilo to run the change and
reboot.
