ram_check() is not a good test to see if ram is working. It merely
catches some cases where RAM is _not_ working.
Sorry to say but with a 99% chance this means your RAM init is faulty.
You can switch compression of stage 2 explicitly off and then dump the
memory at 0x100000 to serial and compare it with your coreboot.rom file.
