You can try passing this at boot:
mem=384M
Just change it to reflect your amount of RAM.
Trying to Boot from CD.... can do successfully from old system but get following error messages on current one...
initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x0bff>ad0> 0x0bff0000)
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 0:01
Does anyone understand this???
And am I posting in the right place???![]()

Thank you for suggestion. Have already tried that using
mem=256M
But didn't make any difference.
