you commented out a number of calls to critical functions. You can't
just simply set a register and assume it all works. Maybe I
misunderstood.
I think stepan's i945 code is a great example of how to turn on dram.
Or you can look at sdram_enable in the lx440 code for the basic sdram
startup cycle. Don't look at the reset of that code, I am not sure it
was ever tested on real hardware, there's a comment in there about
qemu I don't understand. The lx440 was the second (or first) linuxbios
mainboard, but that's not my code, so I'm just not sure about it.
