I just installed linux (redhat 6.2 - kernel 2.2.14-6.1.1) on an old Gateway
(P5-90) which has 80 MB of RAM (2-8MB and 2-32MB SIMs), but linux apparently
only sees a portion of it:

from /var/logs/dmesg:
Memory: 13336K/15360K available (1080K kernel code, 412K reserved, 468K
data, 64K init, 0K bigmem)

I tried reversing the order of the SIMS, I tried removing the 8MB SIMs and
only using the 32MB SIMs, but nothing changed.  Just prior to installing
linux, I had Windows NT running on the box and it claimed to see 77MB during
bootup.

Any idea what is going on here?  How do I get linux to see all of the
memory?  I am new to linux, so maybe I am just overlooking something
obvious.

Thanks for any help.
