I know, my friend which gave me the memory pulled it out of his linux system (of 40meg) and gave it to me. It worked fine on his 1.2.13 elf release.

Nope, I checked this immediately when it stuffed up, there's absolutely no reason for me to ever set this, as I've always had at least 16meg with linux.

I run dos and netware, and have tested it with dos, works fine.

The bios recognised the ram, it checked the ram, himem.sys checked it, everything was a ok on other platforms, when booting into linux, it kept spitting the dummy.
It's a shame also, as I want 32 meg in this machine.
