Well, using the append="mem=128M" in the lilo.conf file is what you were
probably reading about, but I thought that the later kernels dealt with
this problem?  I've got one machine with 128M and another with 256M and
both recognize full amount of memory without any magic.

Am I wrong on this one.  Is it particular MB or MB vendors that seem to
still have this problem?
