Why does Linux (Mandrake) only detects 64 MB out of 192 ?

Why does Linux (Mandrake) only detects 64 MB out of 192 ?

damn it !

And why, when I connect with PPP to my ADSL provider I can PING but can't view webpages ??? 🙂

add the following line to your lilo.conf file:

set linux mem=912M

That should take care of it.

Viper is fairly correct. There is another syntax for it that I used, but cannot remember.

 

[Thor_Sevan]

Ahh !! Thanks !

and for the ADSL thungy ? Pretty annoying ! 🙂

912? Or 192?

 

[Viper GTS]

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.

did you list your dns entries into the kernal?

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)

CS, baby, where is you server located Thor?

 

[Thor_Sevan]

CS server ?? Hehe ! In Montreal (Canada) !!

Damn I like that game ! 🙂

I tried what you told me... I edited the lilo.conf file and nothing happened... I think I'll reinstall for the third time !! !URGG !!! Too much options to play with ! 🙁

 

[Thor_Sevan]

How do I list my DNS entried into the kernel ?? And how do I find them. I get a different IP at each connection.
