128 Mg RAM

[motime]

Can anyone help me. I'm a very linuxnewbie. I loaded Red hat 7.0. My problem is that the OS can only see 64MG RAM.
I checked some documentation and found out that you can use the append=128MG in the lilo.conf. I tried that but it crashed my computer with Sync message. Can anyone help. I don't have the right exact message now. I could send it.
Thanks for your help

Err...it should be append="mem=128M"?

That is what I wrote actually. append="mem=128M"

I just typed it wrong in the post.

This is how my lilo.conf looks like

append="mem=128M"
boot=/dev/hda
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/hda1

I sitll crashed when I restarted the box

read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append="mem=128M"


This is where it needs to go. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks TheLinuxDuck and thanks everyone. I have applied what you told me. This is part of the message that I get When I reboot the machine.

Thank you guys. I believe I have finally figured out what the problem was. It was in the Bios. It was disabled to go over 64MG for os/2. I enabled that setting and linux recognized it.

Thanks for your help.

Hope I can use you when I run into trouble upgrading to KDE 2.0.1
