MessageRichard's comment should fix the problem, but I was wondering...

Are you by chance running an Athlon or Duron with DDR ram?  I have seen this
problem with DDR SDRam and the SIS and ALi chipsets, but not with the AMD
(761) one.  Has anyone else had the same experience?

Some of the newer bioses that support the high density RAM seem to reek
havoc with the linux kernel when using lilo.  In short, the kernel becomes
confused and only sees (or addresses) 64 Megz of RAM.  Anyway, now that you
are bored with the background, you can fix it by adding the line:

append = "mem=512mb"

into your lilo.conf file.  Just remember to reparse your lilo.conf file by
running lilo from the command prompt.

Can anyone tell me why my Red Hat 6.2 box only shows that I have 62mb ram
when I have 512mb installed?
I appreciate the help
