[ILUG] More memory problems

[ILUG] More memory problems

David Ryan david at ryanit.ie

I asked a question a few days ago about a problem where my machine
reports 128m, but Linux (SuSE 6.1) only recognises 64m.  Quite a lot
of people mailed me back suggesting adding mem=128 or mem=120 to
the boot parameters.

When I try anything like this my machine boots for a bit, but hangs just
after Linux tells me how many bogomips my machine does.  If I stick
memory=128 or memory=128m or memory=120, or even memory=48 the
machine boots just fine but still reports 64m.  Any other switches anyone
could suggest ?

Cheers,

David
