256 bytes ... <grin> | I just bought a new computer with 256MB of RAM and using Loadlin all | of it showed up without adding "mem=256m". So I don't think Loadlin | is the problem unless it's an old version. Actually, I think it is a BIOS issue with the BIOS not correctly reporting the amount of memory to the boot loader, regardless of which bootloader it is. -D
