	Thanks, I'll pursue this.

	What was it in the debug output that told you my memory is configured
incorrectly?  I never even thought about this, because the board boots
fine with the OEM bios, using the current memory.  I'm keeping track of
what it takes to get this going on my EPIA, so I can post it for others
in the future, this will be good to know.
