LILO
After setup completes, the following entry should be added to /etc/lilo.conf (assuming partition
ID 0x12 is located on /dev/sda3). Remove the “other=” section when setting up a Prosignia server
since the Prosignia does not use a system partition:
# begin System Partition section
other=/dev/sda3
label=F10
table=/dev/sda
After /etc/lilo.conf has been edited, run /sbin/lilo as the root user:
[chstewart@tlaloc ~]# su
Password:
[root@tlaloc chstewart]# /sbin/lilo
added Linux *
added F10
[root@tlaloc chstewart]# exit
Memory Beyond 64 MB
It may also be necessary to configure LILO manually to allow the kernel to recognize more than
64 MB of RAM. To do this, edit the /etc/lilo.conf file so that it includes an append line:
append=”mem=
xxxM”
where xxx is the sum total of RAM available to the system in megabytes. A sample /etc/lilo.conf
file follows
:
# begin global section
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
# begin Linux section
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35
label=linux
append="mem=160M" # allow access for greater than 64 MB RAM
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
Be sure to run /sbin/lilo after adding the append line, and reboot. You can determine if the larger
amount of RAM was made available to the system typing free as
root:
[chstewart@tlaloc ~]# su
Password:
[root@tlaloc chstewart]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 160116 119888 40228 33180 64772 34308
-/+ buffers/cache: 20808 139308
Swap: 130748 0 130748
[root@tlaloc chstewart]# exit
Examine the “total” column. If it shows the amount of RAM installed on the system in kilobytes
(each kilobyte calculated by free is 1024 bytes), then the system recognizes that amount of RAM.
