Title: Adding memory to SME Server
Post by: gregdi on May 02, 2002, 12:11:15 AM

I have an e-smith server that is currently running 64 megs of memory.  I want to upgrade it to 128 megs.  I believe I read somewhere about a line that has to be added to a file so the Linux operating system will recognize all the memory, but now I can't find it.  Does anybody know about this?

Just add the memory and when you restart it will update.  Unless it is a really old BIOS then you may have to update it in the BIOS settings

If your box is not seeing all of the installed memory
[older compaq's have this problem like my prosignia]

edit the /etc/lilo.conf file

add the line .... append="mem=128m"

then save the file ... and run lilo ... /etc/lilo

you may need to update the templates as well ...
 /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/lilo.conf/9170up-append
