I am running RH7.1 2.4.9-31smp.

I have 1.4 GB of ram and only 899M shows up on top. I have added the
append="1407M" to the appropriate boot information in lilo.conf and still
get only 899M showing up on top. /proc/meminfo is also only picking up
899M. When I boot, the systems counts down and gives me 1407 M of ram
available.

What gives and why doesn't the append statement work in 9-31.

I have 9-31 working on my desktop and by changing the append statement I can
alter the ram in top. But not on my smp machine. I have looked for patches
and found not that relate tot his issue.
