#61713 - 21/01/2002 11:40 BBS - Linux only seeing 128 Meg
PaulH enthusiast Registered: 19/05/1999 Posts: 379 Loc: England	Okay I should really know this but I've just had the memory in the BBS Server upgraded to 640Meg but its only showing 128meg. The BIOS is showing the correct amount. Can somebody please remind me how to fix this. I couldn't spot anything in the lilo.conf man page which is where I thought it was.... Cheers Paul
