I've got 2.2.15, I think.
Until I put the append mem into lilo.conf I was only getting
64M.
I believe there is a BUILD option when you make the kernel

You should check.
Try being root, and run "top"
Make sure it says your total mem available is > 64M, otherwise
you'll want to reboot with a new lilo.conf ;)-
