Hi Matt !

This is something I have seen also, all you gotta do to cure this is edit a
line in your lilo.conf.
For 128Mb of RAM, you do it like this:

        append="linux mem=128M"

And remember to run /sbin/lilo after you've edited that for the changes to
take effect in the LILO boot sector.

I hope that helps !

Kai
