to enable the RAM check look for this bit of code in auto.c

#if 0
static const struct {
unsigned long lo, hi;
} check_addrs[] = {
/* Check 16MB of memory @ 0*/
{ 0x00000000, 0x01000000 },
#if TOTAL_CPUS > 1
/* Check 16MB of memory @ 2GB */
{ 0x80000000, 0x81000000 },
#endif
};
int i;
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(check_addrs)/sizeof(check_addrs[0]); i++) {
ram_check(check_addrs[i].lo, check_addrs[i].hi);
}
#endif

change the #if 0 to #if 1 to enable the ram check. be aware that it will
fail at a0000 , not sure if the are enough 0's there, but you will see.

There is a bug in rom_cc where the first line after any #else is
skipped. Don't think it has been fixed yet.
Unless you have changed the settings to use cl2 ram and 133 Mhz
bus(default is cl3 and 100Mhz), it will not initialise ram properly.

Do you ever experience any long delays/hangs when booting ? after the
1106 0601 message.

My board is having problems with the smbus code. The first read of the
spd data always seems to fail. Not sure if it is my ram modules or a
problem with the code. Don't have any problems booting and running with
the original bios. Not yet got to the bottom of the problem, kind of
been busy of late.
