Hello,
I am facing some problem while loading Morphix.
It does not go beyond the boot prompt and gets stuck at
showing: loading...
This has happened after I added a 64MB module to the existing 64MB RAM,
making it 128.
Strangely, it loads just fine (ofcourse its slow) with either of the
64MB modules alone.
Also, Windows 98 and Redhat have no issues working with the combined 128MB.
Ran memtest from the Morphix CD but it showed no error (ran it till Pass
40).
If it helps: Processor is PIII 450
Any help / clues will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Veer.

Try this
Boot System with MEM=110M and hope everything will work fine .
Tells Linux to only use 110M (of the available ram. Usually,you can get away with picking
a number slightly less than
the actual amount of RAM in the system.
Other people have reported success with MEM=230 on a 256M system and MEM=496M on a 512M
system.
Often, reporting the correct number (MEM=512M on a 512M system) will work.
Thanks
