[LILO]

[Sudhakar Chandrasekharan <thaths@netscape.com>]

I upgraded from 64M to 96M of RAM.

beetle % cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sdb3
root=/dev/sdb3
# Generated by liloconfig
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append = "mem=96M"
read-only

beetle # dmesg | grep Memory
Memory: 63084k/65536k available (836k kernel code, 384k reserved, 1232k
data)

beetle % cat /proc/meminfo
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  64598016 59875328  4722688 92307456  2199552 28725248
Swap: 65798144        0 65798144
MemTotal:     63084 kB
MemFree:       4612 kB
MemShared:    90144 kB
Buffers:       2148 kB
Cached:       28052 kB
SwapTotal:    64256 kB
SwapFree:     64256 kB


What gives?  I *did* reboot.  I did run the BIOS config utility.  During
bootup I can see 96M.  FWIW, I use System Commander.  Get into LILO from
there and bootup.

I am guessing that LILO is not passing the append string to the kernel. 
Would appreciate help.
