jumps to RAM, my HDD light flickers (I'm using the BOOT_IDE flag) and then it starts over again.
A couple of questions: Is it saying it's happy with the system RAM?
All of my results like this were that RAM was not really there. It is copying the C code to ram, which isn't there, and then jumping to garbage, which on many mobos results in a reboot eventually.
Could be the ram is in the wrong slot. Did you try all RAM sockets? Some bridge implementations in LinuxBios expect a particular socket (#1 if it is numbered).
