> All memory like DRAM, EDO and SDRAM can be used with Linux. Be aware
|
|
that older kernels or kernels running on a mortherboard with an older
|
|
BIOS may only be able to detect 64MB of RAM. If you have this
|
|
problem, when you add more than 64 Mb of memory you have to add the
|
|
following line to your LILO configuration file:
|
|
|
|
<A
|
|
NAME="AEN456"
|
|
></A
|
|
><BLOCKQUOTE
|
|
CLASS="BLOCKQUOTE"
|
|
><P
|
|
> append="mem=<number of Mb>M"
|
|
</P
|
|
></BLOCKQUOTE
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
So when you have 96 MB of memory this should become
|
|
|
|
<A
|
|
NAME="AEN458"
|
|
></A
|
|
><BLOCKQUOTE
|
|
CLASS="BLOCKQUOTE"
|
|
><P
|
|
> append="mem=96M"
|
|
</P
|
|
></BLOCKQUOTE
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Don't use a number higher than the amount of RAM you really have.
|
|
This will cause crashes.
