I have said "mem=" option doesn't work Its result is nearly the same as I don't enter boot option "mem=" After reading (loading) kernel, the machine reboot (apparently it has memory problem) according lili.conf manual, "mem=" is passed to kernel by lilo I have tested "mem=" with 2 Linux installation CD Will Live CD make difference? I can't boot Linux, so I can't run dmidecode I use a AGP card, so I have not thought shared video memory might cause trouble I will check now -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
