Re: passing mem= at boot with 2.2.14pre9 and above?

[Designer Seven <designer_7 yahoo com>]

Oh!.. so all this time when I was passing the
mem="256M" parameter it was just getting ignored until
2.2.14? I guess I assumed it worked because everything
seemed to work and also mem="###M" on Intel works fine
with quotes (or last I recall it did).

Thanks for the info... I would have never known.
