Strange kernel crashes

2000-03-27 Thread José Luis Gómez Dans
Hi! I have installed potato recently (with the 2.2.8 install disks) on my Athlon system (someone might remember the problems I had compiling a new kernel for it; well that hasn't _yet_ happpened). This system has 2.2.14, and I am experiencing a rather lot of crashes. Most of the time, these

Kernel 2.2.x and Physical Memory

2000-03-27 Thread Brian Clark
Greetings, once again. If I'm not mistaken, I read that the 2.2.x Kernel and later no longer made you add: append="mem=128M" ..to lilo.conf to get it to use more than 64MB of RAM (in my case, 128MB). I have 128MB of physical memory, yet it's only picking up 64 megs using Potato and 2.2.14.
