Kernel version 2.3.19 To get it to boot, I have to tell it 'mem=64M' or else it freaks out.
Relevant boot messages:

It crashes around there..
If I say 'mem=64M', region 0010000 becomes 64MB like expected.
The machine is a freebie Acer P60 that used to be an expensive server but now is just a fairly slow DNS server. Its age is demonstrated by the PCI 2.0 only specs. I have to force it to use the BIOS routines so it would find PCI devices.
