I upgraded my memory on the Pentium II box I have.  I have RedHat
5.1(2.0.35).  I read that I have to pass the memory parameter at boot. I
have tried the following, both failed.  The PC locked up during initial
start up right about when it is accessing the file system.


boot:  Linux mem=97M		Failed.

Using the GUI tool associated with windows 95 knockoff (LILO configuration)
mem=97M	Failed.

The machine is smart enough to the 64 meg by default.

I am sure there is a something simple I have missed.




I could upgrade but that is another story.  When I have tried to upgrade
(5.2, 6.1), my Creative DAD CD-ROM (ATAPI) refuses to talk to the pci 128
SoundBlaster.  Funny thing is I can get REAL PLAYER to work fine with both
upgrades.  At present the CD-ROM talks to the SoundBlaster via the $35
driver I bought from FourFront Technologies... Works great.
