[ale] memory

[Kyle Beckman]

Ed,

I had this problem with a PC that I worked on that had Intel's i810 chipset. 
  Everything that I read about using append in the lilo.conf file said to 
take 1MB off of the total memory size.  I never tried using the actual 
memory size.  Try using append="mem=127M" instead.  Also, you have to run 
/sbin/lilo as root to get LILO to re-read the lilo.conf file.  You should 
get a response like "added linux *" if everything is kosher.  Reboot (sorry, 
no way around rebooting here) and then run cat /proc/meminfo to see if it 
took.  It should show the correct memory now.
