FYI: Attached is the current linuxbios boot log of the DFI P2XBL board
using asus/p2b profile.
Seems to be *consistently* hanging at RAM3 (during Northbridge prior to
SDRAM init). (Although yanking out 2 dimms gets me a step or two
further ... with failing errors.)
The board has 3 PC100 SDRAM 128MB modules with only 3 DIMM sockets for a
total of ~384MB.
(Dunno if the following dmesg of this motherboard will help. I'll
probably be studying DRAM structure and a good 82443BX chip pdf
tonight.)
