Re: memory problem

[Vivek Sharma <viveks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do start linux with this at lilo prompt.
lilo:linux mem=510M

or do modify your lilo.conf in the linux section and add this line
append="mem=510M"

do write the number 512M if you don't have on board Display memory.
If I am wrong pl. do correct me.
