Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO: Memory 5. MemoryAll memory like DRAM, EDO and SDRAM can be used with Linux. There is one thing you have to look at: normally the kernel is not supporting more than 64 Mb of memory. When you add more than 64 Mb of memory you have to add the following line to your LILO configuration file. append="mem=<number of Mb>M"So, when you have 96 Mb of memory this should become append="mem=96M"Don't type a number higher than the number Mb you really have. This can present unpredictable crashes.
