        The board says that recognizes the RAM, but when trying to 
access, -->> BOOM <<--.
        Something about the memory maps, I think.
        To see something alike, try to boot setting 'mem= X' , but 
X != of the actual amount om RAM.
        On SiS, I seen the machine crashing even with X < mem!!!
        On MDK's 7.1 and 7.2, not on 8.
        And kernels 2.2 and 2.4-test series...

        Good fun!
