It detects the memory size as 64MB!!! That's the maximal value that fits in the CMOS. Use options "MAXMEM='(128*1024)'" in your config file. Keep the old kernel around, this one won't boot if you reduce your RAM size some day! -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
