Name
mem — Force memory usage.
Synopsis
mem=
n[KMG]
Set the specific ammount of memory used by the kernel. When
used with the memmap= option,
physical address space collisions can be avoided. Without the
memmap= option, this option could
cause PCI devices to be placed at addresses that belong to unused
RAM. n specifies the amount of memory to
force and is measured in units of kilobytes (K), megabytes (M), or gigabytes (G).
