I've verified that my SIMMs are 16Mb and I've done some testing
of them on an i486 system (which sees all 64Mb) and they passed.
The version of the ARC console firmware is 4.35. When I set
the MEMORY_SIZE variable to 64 the kernel uncompresses but
it dies when it jumps to the virtual address to start it. I've
got the latest sources from gatekeeper and if/when I get ahold
of the recent kernel sources (post 43 evidently) I'll try to
investigate this further.
