Hello all.
Firstly I have just set up a redhat 6.2 Mail server. Lekker. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/tongue.gif
Unfortunately my EXTRA 64 megs dram I added is not working. I added the {append="mem=128M"} in /etc/lilo.conf (tried it on top,bottom everywhere) but nuttin happen.
Should I kick the PC or what?

further to my query
Okay I guess its some wierd time in the US at the moment.

This is my "BROKEN" /etc/lilo.conf

append="mem=128M"
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear

default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda7

Does this look right ek se'. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif

boot=/dev/hda5
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
append="mem=144m hdd=scsi-ide hdb=atapi-ide"

other=/dev/hda1
label=windows

That's what mine looks like. Try something like that except for the hdd=scsi-ide hdb=atapi-ide

Yep that line works oddly enough.
seems the lower case "m" is the answer. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
