because some BIOS versions are more broken than others in respect of
reporting the amount of RAM being installed.

you don't mention which Linux kernel version you're using.
old versions may not handle broken BIOSes as gracefully as more recent
Linux versions do. maybe you should try 2.2.12 instead of 2.0.x ?!
