Re: System_memory error

Hi,

If you're not using a recent version of lilo, this is perhaps the old boot 
loader problem. The boot loader is setting a wrong memsize option when 
booting the kernel. The kernel can do it better. If your're using grub, 
reconfigure it with --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt.
