Topic: can't see 512 megs of ram

[Derek]

does anyone know why a AMD 1.2 with 512 ram running v5.5 seems to be only seeing 32 megs of ram on the machine and if so how do you fix it?

Mem:    32292K av,   31624K used,     668K free,       0K shrd,     652K buff

I think this is greatly slowing the machine

Thanks

When you boot, does the POST clock up 512 MB?

Just thinking it might be a hardware fault, if not then I have no idea

You can add correct amount of RAM in the LILO
/etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo -v

Thank  you

What command would I put in there and where exactly do I do that

Thanks

This;

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-7.0.8smp
label=esmith
read-only
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6


initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.19-7.0.8smp.img


image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-7.0.8
label=esmith-up
read-only
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6


initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.19-7.0.8.img

Should look like;

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-7.0.8smp
label=esmith
append="mem=512M"
read-only
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6


initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.19-7.0.8smp.img


image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-7.0.8
label=esmith-up
append="mem=512M"
read-only
root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6


initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.19-7.0.8.img
