I have an IBM Thinkpad 560X w/ single boot RedHat 7.0. The system has 98
MB RAM. Yet boot only finds 64 MB 

Linux version 2.2.16-22 (root at porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version
egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Tue Aug 22 16:16:55
EDT 2000
Detected 231777 kHz processor.
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
Calibrating delay loop... 462.03 BogoMIPS
Memory: 63944k/66556k available (1048k kernel code, 412k reserved, 1088k
data, 64k init, 0k bigmem)
Dentry hash table entries: 262144 (order 9, 2048k)
Buffer cache hash table entries: 65536 (order 6, 256k)
Page cache hash table entries: 16384 (order 4, 64k)
...

Any idea what I need to do to get to use the rest of my memory.

TIA, William
