In your message of: Sat, 24 Feb 2001 09:54:47 CST, you write: >Jeff, are you using the e820 memory map at all ?

There should be a kernel command >line message very early on, what does that say ?
Yes, I am using grub, the buggy bootloader. The relevant chunk of kernal messages are:

You are dead on, mem= seems a bit small. Forcing mem=320M on the command line fixes the problem completely.
