Are you sure that you've got 64MB in your computer.
And or that your hardware and bios recognise them.
For instance do you see the memory test running up to 128MB.
In general I think that all new bios kernel combinations
will find the correct amount of memory on their own.
If you specify more memory with the append than you've actually
got, you most likely get the errors you get.
