after I do make modules_install for the rtlinux kernel, 2.0.36, and edit
lilo.conf and reboot it just stops. The first machine this happened on
was bad and spit out an error, so forget about that, but the second was
ok, and it just stopped, no error or anything. I did read somewhere that
when you edit the lilo.conf file, if you have a different amount of memory
that 32MB that you should put in a line such as append="mem=Xm" where X is
one less than the amount of memory. Now, in the instructions that I
received, X=63. My questions is, is X reffering to the amount of physial
memory, RAM, or the linux swap space, and also if the wrong amount was in
there would the machine stop?
