I'm wondering if anyone knows/has a fix for memory past 64mb not being
detected (unless you use append="mem=...M" in lilo) on the Via VT8371
[KX133] North bridge. (Please CC any replies since I'm off kernel list
atm.)

Consult your BIOS vendor

Actually, I just did some additional testing (as this was not an issue with
FreebSD 4.2, Win2k, Win98 on the same hardware). The problem I describe was
fixed in 2.2.19 -- where Linux now properly uses e820 instead of a legacy
BIOS call to determine memory size.
