add the following line to your lilo.conf file:

set linux mem=912M

That should take care of it.

Typo, should read:

set linux mem=192M

Although you'd probably get the same results with 912. As long as the number you set is bigger than your physical memory size, you should get full use of your physical memory.

Actually, your system might not boot if you set the memory amount too high. Some systems have to reduce the setting by 1MB so that it works. (ex: mem=127M)
