Out of curiosity, what are you using to indicate RAM size? ie, top,
/proc/meminfo, other? What distro are you running?
Older versions of top, IIRC, couldn't report more than 64M. Also, LILO
is at v20 or higher, you mention something like 0.21 (these numbers seem
to be on different versioning systems, so I can't tell what's really
correct)? I haven't looked at the LILO site (couldn't find it in a
quick search) but is it possible you have an old version?
