I write to ask for help with an upgrade issue I've just run into.

I have just upgraded the bios on a Soyo SY-5EMA+ motherboard to the most
recent available.  After having done so OS/2 has a memory problem so to
speak.

I have 128MB SDRAM in the system, and after the bios upgrade OS/2 said I
have 16MB!  I have WIN98SE on the same hard disk, so I booted into that to
see how it reacted to the new bios.  It saw the 128MB RAM without a
problem.  However, after looking in the BIOS, I found that if I chose the
setting for "Greater then 64MB RAM" to non-os2, then OS/2 would recognize
64MB, an improvement, but still only half of what is in the machine (it is
a single stick of SDRAM).  I have tinkered in the BIOS as much as I can,
and can find no solution to this.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to get OS/2 V.4 to see
all the memory short of back tracking to the earlier bios version?


Thanks.
