On one of our machines:

Nov  7 11:51:33 yoda kernel: Memory: 127668k/131072k available (1008k
kernel code, 412k reserved, 1640k data, 64k init)

uname -a output:

Linux yoda.XXXX.com 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:40:35 EDT 1999 i686
unknown

Clean, no re-compilation of kernel, RedHat 6.1 Dist.

Also works fine on 2.2.5-15 Kernels, clean, no re-compile, Redhat 6.0

AFAIK There is no problem with >64M on 2.2 series.

Dig arch/i386/setup.S . It asks the Bios how much there is

       mov     ax,#0xe801
        int     0x15
        jc      oldstylemem

It used BIOS INT 15  cal e801 . If the BIOS is too old for that, it uses
INT 15 service 88.

Inly Mothetrborads with Bios that support INT15 service e801 will inform
ya
with RAM > 64.
