- In order to run X windows I installed additional 16Mbytes (4 4meg sims)
- of memory to my 486Dx/33Mhz system which already had 4 Mbytes of memory
- (4 1Meg simms). My AMI BIOS setup recognizes 20 Mbytes of memory but the
- linux (SLS 0.98 distribution) operating system recognizes only 16 Mbytes of
- memory. My configuration was 4M in bank0 and 16M in bank 1. Suspecting
- that linux does not support holes in memory space I tried 16M in bank 0 and
- 4 M in bank 1, even then only 16 Megabytes were recogonized.
-
- I will appreciate any help or pointers in this regard.
