After /etc/lilo.conf has been edited, run /sbin/lilo as root:
[chstewart@tlaloc ~]# su

Memory Beyond 16 MB
Furthermore, it is likely that the new Caldera system will not automatically detect the entire RAM
on the system. As with the Red Hat installation, this can be quickly fixed by editing /etc/lilo.conf
to add an append section to the Linux partition entry:
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
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
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

Video Setup
Finally, if an X-windows system is desired, Caldera includes both xf86config and XF86Setup to
enable you to configure X windows. The video card parameters for each server are included in
the Table 1, Compaq Hardware Basics, and summarized in section, Video Card. Setting up X
with either of these programs is straightforward once the specific video parameters are known. In
Compaq's testing, a Compaq 171FS monitor and the generic SVGA X-windows server were used.
