I had the same problem with SuSe on my Prosignia an found that there is a special program on Compaq's site, it's called the Compaq Siystems Cofiguration Utillity. You have to run this from a dos partition to upgrade your Bios with the new mem amound. http://www5.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/locate/8_1138.html#System ROMPaqs/BIOS good luck Mark Lamers I thought that the kernel was supposed to autodetect up to > 64M anyway.
