I haven't played with RAM initialization much.  The "Device error" message
is coming from the smbus, so I would try to see how that is configured and
put more debugging statements in there.  I see that enable_smbus ran, so I
don't know what's missing.  Hopefully someone who knows more will chime in.

Is there a cmos option that could be causing trouble?  I'd check that too
since the board was choosing to do a normal boot.

Thanks,
Myles
