I recently popped a copy of Linux (2.0.30) on my Compaq Deskpro 2000 at
work and was amazed to see that it incorrectly reported the amount of RAM.
The box contains 32MB, but the kernel only sees 16MB.

Yes, I know, lilo append="mem=32M".

But I thought I would let you (the developers) realize this. This isn't an
issue of BIOS & >64MB of RAM (which I see plenty of messages about), it's
something else.

More information upon request & desire.
