Compaq Proliant 5000

[John Rowan]

I just installed Core 1 on a quad PentiumPro 200 Proliant.  The BIOS on 
this machine has a problem in that it does not properly report all 
available RAM to the OS.  In prior installs (using LILO) I could add the 
line append="mem=exactmap mem=640k at 0m mem=511m at 1m" and the machine used 
all available RAM.  During the first attempt to install Core 1 on the 
machine it reported the machine had insufficient RAM to install on this 
hardware.  I tried the install again, at the boot prompt I entered
linux mem=exactmap mem=640k at 0m mem=511m at 1m and the install ran fine. 

Since Core 1 doesn't use LILO I can't figure out where to add these 
options to have grub pass it to the kernel.  I tried on the kernel 
/vmlinz line but the machine hangs at Uncompressing Linux ... 0k booting 
the kernel.

Suggestions please.
