I have enabled RAMTEST(ramtest.inc) in the LinuxBIOS, it seems to be running at
a very slow pace.Hope it finishes off by today.

The number(887?????) increments at a very slow pace and has
been more than an hour now. Moreover, I have 64MB ram, 
does the above range of test look OK.
If has basically happened after changing some parameter
in the North Bridge.
I have run ramtest before as well without the changes.

But in this case also, it used to reset...
I hope, this what is expected in the Successful Output of Ramtest.

Any pointers on this one.
