Hi,

When i launch memtest all are ok (it recognize the memory area as reported into table at 0x0530). If i launch a kernel (see later) the system restart.

Any help ??

Linuxbios V2 report this memory map area

Did you compile this kernel by yourself? Did you enable serial support and 
serial console? Do you have a video console for this system? Does your kernel 
support this type of video console? Did you compile your kernel for the 
correct CPU? Does this kernel run on your target, when you are using the 
shipped BIOS?
