in /etc/lilo.conf try append="mem=384M" if the system crashes when booting, try changing it to 383M instead, some systems pre-allocate up to 1MB for other things, which causes a crash when the kernel tries to re-allocate it. you can probably test this at the lilo boot prompt before changing lilo.conf by hitting the shift key when you see the LILO word, it should come up with a LILO: prompt and you can type linux mem=384M (though I have not personally tried this, it should work ?) be sure to run lilo & reboot afterwards. This shouldn't happen on the 2.4.x kernel, the memory detection routines were much improved. but it did happen on some systems with the 2.2.x kernel, though most of mine(~95%) did not need this option. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
