Yes, but it doesn't work!!! I added "append mem=96M", and the kernel
still sees only 64. 8-/
On this very machine 2.2.13 compiled under slink saw my 96M
automatically, while this 2.2.14 kernel compiled under potato seems to
have problems with that. I used my old config file and did a "make
oldconfig", so the only change is the compilation environment...
Could the new compiler + libraries have to do with this?
