MEDx Frequently Asked Questions - System

Q: How do I get my Linux machine to recognize all of its RAM?

By default, the LINUX operating system assumes no more than 64MB of RAM. If your machine has more memory than this (which it should to run MEDx), you must do the following:

1. Edit the /etc/lilo.conf file and add the line:

   append="mem=128M"

   as shown below:

$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda2
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz
append="mem=128M"
label=linux
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd
read-only

2. Reboot your system and run /usr/bin/top to see that all memory is listed next to Mem.
