Svetljo:

	I did try ramdisk_size = 8192, perhaps 17,000 is the number to try. Some people told me the parameter was "ramdisk = 8192", you say "ramdisk_size = 8192", do you know which is accurate?

	Also does it go in the append = "ramdisk_size=8192" or "ramdisk=8192"
	Or is it placed into the lilo.conf as a separate entry underneath the append command (or other lilo entry) ramdisk = 8192


Very Respectfully,

Hi

have you tried to pass to lilo : linux ramdisk_size=8192 or
ramdisk_size=17000
after the lvm How-to you have to have in lilo.conf in the append section
" ramdisk_size=8192 "
