Well, what do you know -- that seems to have fixed it! I took out one stick of RAM (so it's down to 1 gig) and it seems to work fine, now, without any boot parameters or anything. (mind you, murphy's law will dictate that it'll crash about 30 seconds after I send this...)
I'm amazed at that -- but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, this has been frustrating me for far too long. :-)
Although, having said that, I'm curious... It is working because there's only 1 gig of RAM in there, or because it's only a single stick (ie. not dual-channel)? It works fine with both sticks, individually, just not both together... I wonder what the cause of it actually is...
Thanks heaps for the suggestion!
Cheers, Michael
