When is it necessary to pass the "mem" parameter to the kernel? I was under the impression that it should no longer be necessary; that newer kernels would always find whatever memory was available. However, I recently doubled the RAM on one of my systems (from 128 to 256 MB) but the new RAM is not found. I've never really seen a good explanation of why the kernel is not always able to find all the RAM, or under what circumstances it happens. I have several other machines contain from 256 to 1024 MB RAM, and they see all the RAM just fine. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html | It is my firm belief that it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs
