In my Config.lb I have:
device pnp 2e.7 off end # GAME_MIDI_GIPO1
device pnp 2e.8 off end # GPIO2
device pnp 2e.9 off end # GPIO3
device pnp 2e.a off end # ACPI

They seem to be off is that what you mean?

Ok, I ran it with:
/* Check RAM. */
ram_check(0, 640 * 1024);

What does this "Fail" mean? How do I fix this? Does this have anything  
to do with the fact that the memory (128MB) is embedded into the board  
(shows on original bios in slot 01) and does not have SPD?

Thanks - Joe
