some system setups have a tendancy to eat up to 1MB of extra memory, on such systems the solution is to use mem=XXXM where XXX is 1MB less then what you have, so in your case mem=511M . I have encountered this with certain bios setups too(I forget which bios option(s) do this but have seen the behavior change back to "normal" after tweaking the bios) also I reccomend checking your MB manual again to be sure your memory is the right voltage. Some boards use 5V simms with 3.3V dimm sockets which is why they reccomend against mixing SIMMS & DIMMS because the 5V simm voltage channel can(eventually/potentially) damage the lower voltage DIMMS (thats at least how one of my board manuals explains it, I think it's a AOpen AP5T-3 running a P200MMX). If I remember your original email right you mentioned using 3.3V simms .. just a thought or 2 .. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
