I just added 128Mb (from Crucial $199, with no shipping charges) and had to use append="mem=191M" so
I guess you need to use append="mem=127M"
This has been discussed many times on the list, you are correct there is some memory you must deduct
from the total available.  I do not know how much that is or whether it is system specific but 1Mb
seems to cover it.  You could always play around with a few different values at the lilo prompt if
you need those few otherwise wasted bytes.
