64 megs



You must be using a kernel previous to 2.0.36... earlier kernels have problems
atodetecting memory above 64 megs, since the bios doesn't report more then 
64megs.

What you have to do is to put "mem=128m" on the command line to the kernel.
You can type this by hand at the LILO: prompt, i.e.

LILO: Linux mem=128m

If you use lilo, you might be able to use the "append" keyword in your
lilo.conf to automatically do this.

Or, just get a newer kernel; 2.0.36 should autodetect memory and should be
fully compatable with late 2.0.* kernels.  You can install this kernel as a
deb package; look in the archives about this.
