memory

[Richard Meeker]

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
