Memory Question

[zscoundrel]

I had a similar problem with 7.0 -  probably because I installed extra 
memory after I installed the software.  I had to modify the boot 
sequence to force RH7.0 to accept the full memory contingent.

Try rebooting and at the LILO prompt type in 'MEM=xxxxxxxxx' and replace 
the x'es with the amount of memory reported at by the bios at power-up. 

Then if this works, you can add the parameter so it will boot this way 
all the time.

At 20, I was liberal, because I had nothing to lose and so much to gain.
by 40, I was conservative, because I had so much to lose and so little to gain.
Isn't it amazing what 20 years of hard work and experience will do for ones' point of view?
