SuSE Linux: All versions
top
will show only 64
MByte RAM.
mem
- which transfers the information on the RAM to the kernel.Example:
You have a computer with 96 MByte of RAM. Please use the following kernel parameter at the bootprompt :
linux mem=96MThe statement can be given in M (Megabyte) or in K (Kilobyte).
To automate this step you have to edit the file
/etc/lilo.conf
. Edit the append
line, so
that it looks like:
append="mem=96M"Afterwards please type in the following command:
lilo
.
You can also use YaST/YaST2.
Important:
Be exact with the memory sizes´ statement! If you declare e.g. 1024M as memory size, but you have only installed 128 MByte, the Linux kernel will believe that you have 1 GByte RAM and will definitely crash.
