I'm using the 64 bit version. If you're going to build the kernel, I'll try
it, I promise. Let me know if I should read something about installing the
kernel first, because Linux From Scratch is somewhere on my agenda later
this year, after finishing the sysex driver :-)

You can find that beautiful file here:
dmesg<http://freqrush.cr68.com/medionakoya/dmesg>;-)
I'm reading it and it's full of interesting info,
I like it, thanks a lot for showing me this log file about the starting of
every part of the engine. :-)
there's indeed no BIOS-e820 saying e0000000
but I did find these lines looking for e0000000:

It looks like the newer kernel solves the BIOS Bug and not mentions it, only
in the dmesg file.
Thanks to trying the 64studio alpha release, I now know there's a need to
update the BIOS, or to tell MEDION they have a bug in it.
Cheers
