OK, this _looks_ good, but I'm not sure it actually works. Did you start from a cold boot (power-off)?
Results which you get from merely soft-resetting the system are not reliable.
If the above DRAM memory search range is a custom that is related to this specific Tyan S1832DL, how about I provide an svn diff for inclusion into the tree? (If not, will just keep using s1846 tree and is preferable for further code updates.)
No need for a patch here, I think.
What needs fixing is the code in raminit.c which is generic for all 440BX boards...
