This is a known issue with 2.2.x. You are probably safer with mem=127M.

Subject: Possible memory detection problem on 2.2.14

Hello:

I upgraded to 2.2.14 and the kernel doesn't find all my memory anymore.
I have 128M on an Abit BX6r2 motherboard using the latest BIOS (bxrnw).
The BIOS reports the full 128M, but Linux only finds 64M. If I pass the
kernel "mem=128M" it gets all my RAM though. My kernel config is
attached. Everything was fine on 2.2.13, and other boxes I have on 2.2.14
all the memory is found (also 128M machines, different motherboards
though).
