Kernel boot parameters => 192MB of memory on proliant 1500

[nikolaii]

Hi all, I have recently installed more memory on my Proliant 1500. I have for now 192 MB. But Linux doesn't recognize all availaible memory (Compaq do, at boot time). So I have put a line in lilo.conf : append="mem=192M" , then reran lilo, but everything reman the same. Linux can just see 14MB :-((

Kernel version : 2.4.20
Distro : Debian Woody.

Any idea ?

Don't forget to assign points if it works.

Very good !

I have checked this site, then make a Google search and found another site which is pretty good : http://www.cpqlinux.com/memory.html

( Why I have not searched with Google bevor, me dummy !)

The option append="mem=192M" has not worked, but the option append="mem=exactmap mem=640K@0 mem=191M@1M" works very good (for 2.4.xx kernels, I think).

Many thanks
