SubjectRe: How detect 48MB RAM on a Compaq Prolinea 590 ?
From
Date
   At work I have a Compaq Prolinea 590 with 48MB RAM installed,
where BIOS reports (from dmesg): BIOS query detected 16384KB RAM.

I have tried append = "mem=2F2E000" and many other values, even
append = "mem=F00000" -- that in my book is 15 MB, and even then
there was trouble. Maybe this is a Lilo (v 19) bug and no
kernel bug? What happens is that there is not enough memory for
the OS and the kernel freezes, or with some values on the mem-
parameter boots up but fails to link in most libs, etc.

Problem is probably that you need to prefix `0x' to the number to
indicate hex. I suggest just using an M suffix instead:

mem=48M
