Hello again; I've tried everything you said but without success. Here is the lilo.conf again. boot=/dev/hda5 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt linear timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 label=linux root=/dev/hda5 read-only append="mem=128M" other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda I've tested: append = "mem=128M" append="mem=128m" append = "mem=127M" append="mem=128M" I've always run /sbin/lilo -v after editing lilo.conf, but what "free" or "top" reports remains unchanged, as if it is useless to modify the lilo.conf ... During start up, the bios reports 131072 Kbytes The motherboard is: BOARD ABIT BH6 440BX Pentium II AGD The RAM is: Lond Dimm 128M SDRAM 100MHz C/EPROM Windows 95 detects 128M of RAM perfectly. The kernel I have installed is 2.2.5-15, and RedHat 6.0 Thank you very much for your attention. ---------------------------------------------- | Jesús Pascual Peco González | | | | Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica | | Universidad Pontificia Comillas | | C/ Santa Cruz de Marcenado, 26 | | 28015 Madrid | | | | Tlfno: + 34 91 542.28.00 | | Fax: + 34 91 542.31.76 | ______________________________________________ On Thu, 18 Nov 1999, Michael H.
