Title: Memory misreported by TOP
Post by: paul on February 02, 2000, 09:16:32 PM

I tried this with both 3.1 and 4.0 (Beta)

I am running a P2-266 with 128MB RAM (PC100), a 4GB SCSI hard drive, (Adaptec 2940AU)

The install goes fine, but when I run TOP, it shows only 64MB RAM installed.

The BIOS, (and other OS's I've had on the machine) show the full 128MB

Any ideas?

Edit /etc/lilo.conf.  In the section for linux, add this line:

  append="mem=128M"

Run /sbin/lilo and reboot.
