Linux kernel param available to limit RAM below "bad" memory:
"mem=XXX"
Like:
"mem=64M" to limit the memory to the first 64MB.
You can also do this by adding the line
append = "mem=128M"
to the appropriate section of your lilo.conf. Example:
image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/sda1 read-only append = "mem=128M"
You may also wish to look at "badmem" (http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/) which allows more accurate control of what addresses the OS shouldn't use.
