A friend of mine has an old 486DLC with 8Mb (no money, no ski:)
and he has an faulty 30pin 1mb SIMM module (an 16k gap or something)
Using ms-dog/windoze (bleeaaaahhh...) he can specify some strange
"X=nnnn-mmmm" parameter in the himem.sys or emm386 drivers.
Can I specify some kernel param to tell Linux that I don't want
to use some specific memory area ?
the "mem=7M" param works (assuming the faulty SIMM is the last one)
but 0.9Mb are ALWAYS good in Linux :-)

PS: msdog's himem.sys tests the memory at boot time ...
... an "LILO boot: linux memtest=on" would be nice !
