Re: Memory: Bios total 262144K - top total 14332K

Bravo Nicholas... actually I couldn't get to to the boot: prompt so I 
found a reference to adding the line in the lilo.conf file:

append="mem=256M"

free reports the full 256 megs now (I'm amazed the server was able to run 
on only 14M though).


Many thanks,
/j-p.

For lilo try this:

mem=256M

at the lilo prompt.

If you are using grub as your boot loader, try this:

FYI> It helps to know what version of Red Hat you are using.

Hello List...

I appear to have a memory configuration problem. The difference between
the system bios and what free/top reports as total memory seems very odd.

free -m reports 13 as total mem!

Is it possible to tell the OS how much memory is available?

thanks
/j-p.
