Suddenly I need MEM= to lilo, why?
I've just discovered that after re-installing potato I now only have 64Mb
out of 256Mb unless I use MEM=256M. VMWare was first to tell me, then I
noticed /proc/kcore was only 64Mb. This is on a Supermicro P6DBS with dual
PIII 700s which has had several Linux flavours installed, including potato,
and till now has always recognised 256Mb. While everything _seems_ to be
working after using the MEM= lilo append I'm worried as to why all of a
sudden the kernel needs to be told.
About the only difference I can see is that I now have LILO in the MBR,
whereas before I was booting LILO off NT's boot loader. Could that somehow
make a difference?
I'm baffled.

BTW, this is with 2.2.17 + international patch.
