Solved

The main purpose for compiling a kernel on the aero was for me to install the Bad RAM patch - to let Linux detect all the 20 MB of RAM on the aero.

So according to Donald Gordons precious hint in the Aero-Mailing-List I changed my lilo.conf.

---------My "lilo.conf"--------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
message=/boot/yodatux.pcx

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	read-only
	append="mem=20 badram=0x010b0000,0xffff8000"
	root=/dev/hda6

other=/dev/hda3
	optional
label=setup

other=/dev/hda1
	optional
	label=dos

-------------------------------------------

Important is here the line

	append="mem=20 badram=0x010b0000,0xffff8000"

which passes two options to the linux kernel:

Afterwards command

lilo -v

as root-user from the shell.

Now the last thing to do to enable the BadRAM patch is to configure the pcmcia-card manager with the Parameters Donald Gordon described. This will be done in the next chapter.
